Yves Saint Laurent proved an exceptional talent for fashion at a young age, launching his eponymous couture label in 1961 at just 25 years old. Opening his iconic Rive Gauche boutique in 1966 with partner Pierre Bergé, he is credited with the creation and popularization of ready-to-wear collections, making fashion more readily available on a larger scale. Belgian designer Anthony Vaccarello has been at the helm since 2016, solidifying its legacy as a provocative global fashion house instilling undeniable confidence in its wearer.
