Yves Saint Laurent, a prodigy who honed his skills at Dior, founded his fashion house in 1961 with Pierre Bergé and gave women the wardrobe of power: the tuxedo in 1966, the safari jacket, the jumpsuit, and the first Black muses in haute couture. Rebranded as Saint Laurent under Hedi Slimane, the Kering-owned house has reaffirmed a Parisian rock silhouette, strong shoulders, and deep black, a style continued by Anthony Vaccarello. Left Bank yesterday, red carpets today: YSL remains the most copied and coveted initial of French chic.
