What does the brand YSL stand for?
The brand YSL stands for Yves Saint Laurent. The name comes from the French designer who established the French fashion house in 1961. He is known for having pioneered "cross-design" in fashion, taking inspiration from street trends to modernize luxury clothing. He was the first designer to launch a ready-to-wear label and the first couturier to open boutiques for both men and women. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of Yves Saint Laurent apparel and accessories.
