Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche

French

Visionary French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent was the first to launch a ready-to-wear label, YSL Rive Gauche Prêt-à-Porter. The inaugural Rive Gauche boutique — a modern shop in Paris’s bustling, bohemian Left Bank district — offered stylish garments and accessories that were intended to be affordable for a younger generation of fashion enthusiasts. The store featured Mies van der Rohe chairs and played host to actor Catherine Deneuve during its grand opening.

Saint Laurent pioneered “cross-design” in fashion, taking inspiration from street trends to modernize haute couture. He was the first couturier to open boutiques for both men and women. Using traditional menswear fabrics and designs for women, he also literally cross-dressed, giving men and women alike chic pant suits, elegant tuxedo jackets and urban safari gear. By blurring gender-specific design, he empowered individual style while creating a scissor-sharp fashion aesthetic of sensual ease and beauty. Many of his designs are today considered timeless classics. Saint Laurent also consistently used Black models, like Mounia, Iman and Naomi Campbell, and he drew endless inspiration from different ethnicities and cultures, in no small part because of his Algerian roots.

Born to French parents in Oran, Algeria, in 1936, Saint Laurent went to Paris at age 17 to study fashion at the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture. Just two years later, in 1955, his remarkable sketches were shown to Christian Dior, then the world’s reigning couturier, who hired him immediately.

Surprisingly soon thereafter, Dior publicly chose Saint Laurent as his successor, which sadly proved prescient when the fashion legend died unexpectedly, in 1957. A mere slip of a youth, the 21-year-old Saint Laurent was nevertheless up to the challenge. He shook the traditional couture clientele to its core with youthful silhouettes and styles like the A-line trapeze dress that hung with seeming effortlessness from the shoulders, the antithesis of the pinched waists and molded skirts that had been all the rage after the deprivations of World War II.

After a mandated spell in the torturous French military, Saint Laurent suffered a nervous breakdown and was dismissed by Dior in 1962. Out of the ashes rose the Age of Yves. With Pierre Bergé, his then-lover who became his lifelong business partner and friend, the designer founded Yves Saint Laurent YSL to encompass prêt-à-porter, or ready-to-wear. In 1966, they opened the first YSL Rive Gauche women’s boutique in Paris — Rive Gauche is French for “left bank” — followed soon thereafter by YSL Rive Gauche for men. Ready-to-wear materialized during a period of dynamic transformation and experimentation and came to dominate the Paris fashion scene. Saint Laurent had given birth to a global brand.

His revolutionary Mondrian mini dress from 1965 is a core element of his fashion biography. It is a prime example of how Saint Laurent, an avid art lover and collector, looked to painters, from Goya to Picasso, Ingres to Matisse, for inspiration.

With its pure lines and hues, Mondrian’s ground-breaking 1935 color-block painting Composition C transmutes beautifully into a dress that is highly valued by collectors of contemporary fashion and widely copied commercially to this day. The design is the epitome of Saint Laurent’s aesthetic, requiring a meticulous hand piecing of each color block so that, despite the body’s curves, the visual plane is as flat as a canvas when the garment is worn. Mondrian’s purity met its match in Saint Laurent.

“I am no longer concerned with sensation and innovation, but with the perfection of my style,” Saint Laurent said four years before retiring, in 2002. After a long period of ill health, he died at his home in Paris on June 1, 2008.

The vintage YSL Rive Gauche clothing for sale on 1stDibs includes evening dresses and gowns, jackets, shoes, handbags and other items.

Yves Saint Laurent 1988 Runway Red Floral Silk Tie Neck Vintage 80s 1980s Dress

By Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche, Yves Saint Laurent

Located in San Diego, CA

Model in video is US Size 6 and 5’8 feet tall Measurements (flexible fit due to silhouette): Bust: up to 44 inches Waist: up to 44 inches Hips: up to 42 inches Length (top back shoulder to hem): 39.5 inches A striking and unmistakable Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche runway piece from the Fall 1988 collection—an era where bold color, rich pattern, and effortless volume ruled the silhouette. This vibrant red silk dress features an inky black rose print with bursts of golden yellow, echoing the exact textile seen on the runway look. The design embodies that signature late-80s YSL ease: a softly bloused bodice, relaxed through the body, with a subtly tapered skirt that creates shape without restriction. The dramatic tie-neck detail is the quiet star here—it can be styled multiple ways depending on mood and moment: tied in a bow for polish, draped loose for a nonchalant feel, wrapped once for a scarf-like effect, or even tucked for a cleaner neckline. The voluminous sleeves with gathered cuffs add movement and presence, while the inclusion of pockets brings that rare and coveted blend of glamour and practicality. Runway Note: This exact print appeared on the Fall 1988 runway, styled with a YSL black alligator / croc embossed statement belt from the same collection. While the belt is not included in this listing, it is from the same collection and available separately—an incredible opportunity for a collector to recreate the full runway moment. ⸻ Measurements (flexible fit due to silhouette): Bust: up to 44 inches Waist: up to 44 inches Hips: up to 42 inches Length (top back shoulder to hem): 39.5 inches Marked size 38, but the cut allows it to comfortably accommodate a range of sizes. ⸻ Styling & Occasions: This is one of those rare pieces that shape-shifts depending on styling: * Cinch it with a wide belt for a strong, runway-inspired power look * Wear it loose with heels for gallery openings, dinners, or cocktail events * Add tights and boots for a polished daytime city look * Style with flats or sandals for a chic resort or vacation statement * Layer under a tailored coat with the tie peeking out for a dramatic fall ensemble From daytime sophistication to evening presence, this dress moves effortlessly between worlds. ⸻ A true collector’s Yves Saint Laurent piece—rich in color, grounded in history, and endlessly versatile.

    Saint Laurent Rive Gauche is a line of ready-to-wear fashion that was released under the ‘Yves Saint Laurent’ name. Saint Laurent himself said he “had had enough of making dresses for jaded billionaires”; so he created the Rive Gauche line of high-quality fashion that was more accessible than the haute couture line. You can find vintage and contemporary Yves Saint Laurent bags, clothing and accessories from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
