YSL Founded in 1961,
Yves Saint Laurent is one of the
great fashion names of the 20th century. The
first couture house to introduce the concept of
luxury prêt-à-porter in a 1966 collection called ‘Rive Gauche’,
Yves Saint Laurent revolutionized the socio-cultural landscape. The shift represented a first and critical step in the modernization of fashion, making it accessible to a wider public. In 1999, the luxury goods division of the PPR Group acquired Yves Saint Laurent and under the
creative direction of Stefano Pilati since 2004 has positioned the house at the summit of the luxury universe. The exceptional legacy of Yves Saint Laurent has thus been renewed and a contemporary identity at once forged through
innovative collections that marry elegance, refinement, French chic and timeless style. Today Yves Saint Laurent’s collections include
women’s and men’s ready-to-wear, shoes, handbags, small leather goods, jewelry, scarves, ties and eye wear.
