Rewriting the Codes of Dressing
Yves Saint Laurent revolutionized fashion by borrowing from menswear and transforming it into symbols of empowerment. Pieces like the smoking jacket and saharienne became cultural markers, shifting how clothing expressed identity, authority, and desire. In 1966, Saint Laurent Rive Gauche changed the industry by introducing luxury ready-to-wear—bringing high fashion into everyday life.
Image, Culture, and Provocation
The House’s visual language has always been as powerful as its garments. Campaigns shot by Helmut Newton and Robert Mapplethorpe shaped a bold, provocative aesthetic that fused fashion with art, photography, and eroticism. Saint Laurent became synonymous with attitude, tension, and unapologetic self-expression.
A Modern Vision Under Anthony Vaccarello
Since 2016, Creative Director Anthony Vaccarello has reinforced the House’s identity with clarity and authority. His collections channel cinematic sensuality, razor-sharp tailoring, and a dark, nocturnal glamour—honoring Yves Saint Laurent’s legacy while pushing it forward with irreverent modernity.
