Yves Saint Laurent’s new concept of ready-to-wear
Yves Saint Laurent’s revolutionary new ready-to-wear concept began with his first Paris store, which opened on 26 September 1966. In the same year, he designed the costumes for Catherine Deneuve in Luis Bunuel’s Belle de jour. YSL’s success was confirmed when he won the first prize in a competition for the most beautiful dress at the prestigious Salon d’Automne.
A French fashion house has always been interested in the history of their products. But with the emergence of mass production and the rise of fast fashion, designers are beginning to question the very concept of ready-to-wear. Yves Saint Laurent, the brand’s co-founder and artistic director, is reintroducing couture to his ready-to-wear line.
