Founded in 1961 by French designer Yves Saint Laurent, Parisian maison Saint Laurent is synonymous with refinement, modernity and freedom of expression. In 1966, the fashion house introduced the concept of ‘prêt-à-porter’ to the luxury world by presenting the collection Saint Laurent Rive Gauche. The talented couturier, one of the biggest names of the 20th century, was the creator of a fresh and modern language, that still represents a proper source of inspiration. Since April 2016, at the creative direction of the Saint Laurent collections, there has been Italian designer Anthony Vaccarello. He’s been preserving the DNA of this historic maison, interpreting some of the great Saint Laurent garments in a rock way. Among the menswear pieces that made the brand acquainted and appreciated all over the world, the men’s one button jacket ‘Le smoking’, that is characterized by a slim silhouette.
