Saint Laurent: Clothing, Shoes and Accessories | Franz Kraler

Yves Saint Laurent was one of the most influential designers of the Sixties, the first to develop the concept of luxury prêt-à-porter, launching the 'Rive Gauche' line in 1966. His collections have been essential in the history of fashion, challenging the social conventions of the time while maintaining the elegance of forms and the refinement of taste. One of the brand's most iconic and revolutionary creations is "Le Smoking," the first women's tuxedo in fashion history, along with the iconic Mondrian dress, the cocktail dress inspired by the art of Piet Mondrian. In April 2016, Anthony Vaccarello was appointed Creative Director of the Maison: his collections are a tribute to Saint Laurent's tailoring and the revolutionary spirit of its founder, all with a touch of modernity and sensuality. Faithful to tradition, Vaccarello dresses women in garments considered to be for men: it is no coincidence that the brand's recurring elements are maxi-shoulders, statement accessories, and eccentric details.
