Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) is an iconic French fashion maison founded by the celebrated designer Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Bergé in 1961. After working as an assistant and successor to Christian Dior, Saint Laurent launched his own fashion house, revolutionizing the industry with his innovative and bold approach.

Yves Saint Laurent introduced iconic pieces such as the trench coat and the blazer in 1962, but it was in the '60s and '70s that the brand made fashion history. Yves Saint Laurent trench introduced the female tuxedo, “Le Smoking”, in 1966, redefining the concept of elegance and power for women. This garment became a symbol of female empowerment and sartorial revolution.

Another fundamental moment was the creation of the Rive Gauche prêt-à-porter line in 1966, which made luxury more accessible and democratized fashion. Its collections were often inspired by various cultures and artistic movements, such as the famous 1965 Mondrian dress and collections inspired by Russian ballet and African art.
