YVES SAINT LAURENT

Yves Saint Laurent established his unforgettable presence in the fashion world in 1962, when he pioneered designing men's clothes for women. The legendary smoking jacket, or Le Smoking, set the scene for Yves Saint Laurent's indefinably elegant signature. Today, the label retains this streamlined chic and untouchable glamour in ranges of apparel, shoes, accessories, fragrance and beyond.

For Spring/Summer 2012, the Parisian label's consummate elegance is woven across a covetable womenswear collection, featuring key pieces that embody the spirit of this season's ladylike trend. From expertly fitted shift dresses to flawlessly cut trench coats, Yves Saint Laurent's fusion of prints and textures add a contemporary touch to timeless wardrobe staples.
