In 1966, Saint Laurent opened his own ready-to-wear boutique, Rive Gauche. The label’s name translates to “Left Bank,” and referenced both the shop’s location on the River Seine and the bohemian spirit for which that area was known. Rive Gauche was lauded for offering innovative designs that echoed the designer’s couture creations.
