Saint Laurent

At the forefront of French fashion for over 50 years, Saint Laurent’s pioneering designs have become iconic cultural and artistic references. After founding his eponymous couture collection in 1961, it was Yves Saint Laurent’s Rive Gauche prêt-à-porter line – and the unveiling of Le Smoking, a feminine take on the timeless tuxedo jacket – that was fêted with democratising fashion and making the Parisian label’s covetable couture accessible for a younger, fashion-forward demographic. Under the creative direction of Anthony Vaccarello since April 2016, the maison still retains its inimitable French irreverence. High-octane men's and women’s collections are served with a razor-sharp edge, while It-bags come in the form of the Sac de Jour and signature Monogramme styles. Expect sculpted silhouettes, re-worked classics and endless amounts of glamour.
