Saint Laurent
Rock 'n' Roll Chic
The Revolution of Yves Saint Laurent
Yves Saint Laurent revolutionized women's fashion by introducing elements from men's wardrobes, creating powerful, androgynous silhouettes that liberated women through style. Founded in 1961, the house became synonymous with sophisticated rebellion and effortless glamour.
From the groundbreaking Le Smoking tuxedo suit to safari jackets and peasant blouses, Saint Laurent consistently challenged fashion conventions while maintaining an unwavering commitment to elegance and quality craftsmanship.
Under Anthony Vaccarello's creative direction since 2016, Saint Laurent continues to embody the house's rock 'n' roll spirit while adding contemporary edge to its timeless codes of seduction and power dressing.
