About

Saint Laurent's Rive Gauche

On September 19, 1966, Yves Saint Laurent opened a ready-to-wear boutique in Paris called "Yves Saint Laurent's ''Rive Gauche'' collection and its origin". This marked the first time a couturier successfully launched a ready-to-wear line in France. Situated in a former antiques store in the student-dominated area of the Seine’s Left Bank, the appropriately named store (Rive Gauche is literally “left bank” in French) was a complete departure from the grand and gilded interior of his haute couture salon. Rive Gauche was an immediate success, with some customers waiting up to three hours to purchase items. Within a matter 

During the 1970s, Rive Gauche was the site of Saint Laurent’s most prolific creative production. It was a laboratory of sorts, where he could experiment freely with different styles, looks, and sources of inspiration, away from the pressures of the haute couture salon.
