Collection: Yves Saint Laurent

Born in Oran in 1936, Yves Saint Laurent is universally recognized as one of the greatest couturiers of the twentieth century and as the designer who bridged the gap between haute couture and popular culture, forever transforming the way the world dresses.

His creative legacy is extraordinarily vast: the women's tuxedo — introduced in 1966 and becoming a symbol of emancipation and power — the safari jacket, the trench coat, references to the art of Mondrian, Matisse, and Picasso translated into clothing, and the founding of Rive Gauche in 1966, the first luxury prêt-à-porter line in history, which democratized haute couture without sacrificing quality. Saint Laurent understood before anyone else that the street, music, and art could nourish fashion as much as sartorial tradition.
