YVES SAINT LAURENT RIVE GAUCHE AW2001 ANGORAL WOOL KNIT SWEATER Maison Margiela “May the Circle be Unbroken”Yves Saint Laurent, the iconic French fashion designer, launched the Rive Gauche line in 1966. This marked a departure from the traditional haute couture model, where garments were made to measure for individual clients. Rive Gauche, which translates to "Left Bank" in English, was named after the bohemian district of Paris where Saint Laurent had his boutique. Rive Gauche was a ready to wear line, offering high quality, stylish clothing off the rack.
