About Saint Laurent
Yves Saint Laurent founded his house in 1961 after being dismissed from Dior, and introduced the tuxedo suit for women in 1966 and ready-to-wear as a serious proposition rather than a lesser line. Kering owns the fashion house, while the beauty and fragrance licence belongs to L'Oréal.
