Founded in 1961, Yves Saint Laurent is one of the most prominent fashion houses of the 20th Century. Originally a house of Haute Couture, Yves Saint Laurent revolutionised the way fashion and society merge and interact in 1966 with the introduction of high-end made clothes produced on a larger scale than the exclusive collections. Since its inception, Yves Saint Laurent has wielded influence both within the fashion world and far beyond it. Its founder, the couturier Yves Saint Laurent, is remembered as one of the 20th century’s foremost designers and personalities.
