Founded in 1961, Yves Saint Laurent was the first couture house to introduce the concept of luxury ready-to-wear with the label’s 1966 ‘Saint Laurent Rive Gauche’ womenswear collection. The French house’s debut prêt-a-porter line set a standard of modernization. The label’s contemporary iteration, Saint Laurent, now under the creative direction of Anthony Vaccarello since April 2016, upholds its founder’s legacy of absolute modernity and fashion authority. The house’s monogrammed leather goods, signature Opyum heels, Anja pumps, and Sac du Jour tote, are elevated to an unprecedented standard of luxury.
