Founded in 1961, Yves Saint Laurent is one of the most prominent fashion houses of the 21st century. Originally a Haute Couture house, Saint Laurent revolutionized modern fashion in 1966 with the introduction of luxury ready-to-wear under the name Saint Laurent Rive Gauche. Key themes for the brand include provocation, empowerment and freedom of thought, being one of the first Maisons to be both revolutionary and luxury at the same time. This exclusive, luxury line of ready-to-wear eyewear channels the modern, youthful and sophisticated spirit that vaulted Saint Laurent to fame.
