Saint Laurent is Parisian style made permanent. Founded in 1961 by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé, the house invented luxury ready-to-wear with Rive Gauche in 1966 and has stood for the same thing ever since: sharp lines, black-on-black confidence and effortless rock and roll.
The eyewear carries that attitude precisely. Made in Italy by Kering Eyewear, the collection runs from razor-clean rectangles defined by the house’s signature ninety-degree Corner Angle to styles carrying the YSL Cassandre monogram, drawn in 1961 and still one of fashion’s most recognised marks.
