Founded in 1961 as an Haute Couture maison, in 1966 Yves Saint Laurent revolutionised the relationship between fashion and society, bringing luxury clothing to a broader audience beyond the traditional exclusive collections. Its founder was one of the most iconic figures of the twentieth century, and the maison became a truly ground-breaking and prestigious fashion house, always in tune with the times. Today, Yves Saint Laurent is one of the most established and internationally recognised fashion houses, competing with exclusive high-end luxury brands. 

Inspired by Anthony Vaccarello’s creative vision, under the leadership of Francesca Bellettini, the brand has laid solid foundations for its development and continues to strengthen its influence on the international fashion scene.
