Yves Saint Laurent - YSL

About Yves Saint Laurent (YSL)

Yves Saint Laurent (YSL), is a renowned French fashion house started by both Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé in 1961. Originating in Paris, the brand revolutionized women's fashion by popularizing androgynous styles and the iconic Le Smoking tuxedo suit for women in 1966. YSL was also a pioneer in ready-to-wear fashion with the launch of Rive Gauche in 1966, making high fashion more accessible. Throughout its history, the brand has introduced major innovations such as safari jackets, tight pants, and thigh-high boots. Influential designers who have helmed the maison include Tom Ford, Stefano Pilati, and Hedi Slimane. Today, YSL continues to be a significant force in the fashion industry under the creative direction of Anthony Vaccarello.
