Saint Laurent is a French fashion house founded in 1961 by Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Bergé. It is known as one of the most influential and revolutionary brands in fashion history. The brand is famous for its women’s tuxedo, safari jacket, trapeze dress, and iconic monogram logo with interlocking initials.
Interesting fact: In 1966, Yves Saint Laurent created the first women’s version of the men’s tuxedo — “Le Smoking”. It was a real scandal: women were forbidden to appear in pantsuits in restaurants and hotels. Marlene Dietrich was once turned away from the Monte Carlo casino precisely for wearing a pantsuit. Saint Laurent challenged society, and his tuxedo became a symbol of women’s emancipation. Today, “Le Smoking” is considered one of the most important creations in 20th-century fashion history.
