Founded in 1961, Yves Saint Laurent is one of the most important fashion houses of the 20th century. Originally established as a Haute Couture Maison, in 1966 it revolutionised the way fashion and society interacted with each other, introducing the creation of luxury clothes on a wider scale than exclusive collections.

From the beginning, Yves Saint Laurent has had an influence both inside and outside the fashion system. Over the years, its founder, Yves Saint Laurent, has become one of the most iconic designers and personalities of the 20th century.

This Maison was the first to be revolutionary and prestigious, fundamental elements of its DNA.

Thanks to a unique identity and codes that distinguish it, making it always in step with the times, Saint Laurent is today one of the most established and recognised fashion houses.

In April 2016, Saint Laurent appointed Anthony Vaccarello as Creative Director of the Maison. Thanks to a natural creative harmony with the spirit of the brand, since his arrival, the designer has strongly reinforced its vision. Anthony Vaccarello's collections are a sophisticated tribute to Paris, the atelier and the know-how of the brand, all reinterpreted in a modern key. Since his appointment, Anthony Vaccarello has been able to establish his vision of the brand, guiding Saint Laurent with clarity and determination, in full respect of the Maison's dynamics. Exercising all his power over the collective imagination, he has developed an all-round vision that projects Saint Laurent into the future.
