Saint Laurent Celebrates Cross-Disciplinary Design With The Rive Droite Collection

19 November 2021

Saint Laurent’s Rive Droite collections are a canvas for cross-disciplinary creativity, acting as a celebration of different areas of design and styling.

Whenever Saint Laurent is mentioned, the word revolutionary often shortly follows — and for good reason. The fashion house’s founder, Yves Saint Laurent, not only designed some truly iconic pieces — like the Le Smoking Suit or the Mondrian dress — but he flipped the script on high fashion, introducing his ready-to-wear collection and breaking down its seemingly-impenetrable walls of accessibility.

That focus — one of breaking down barriers and laying the foundations for new possibilities — is something that remains a focus of the fashion house and Anthony Vaccarello today, as the latest Rive Droite collection shows. The collection, which is named as a nod to the fashion house’s groundbreaking Rive Guache line, takes on a cross-disciplinary approach, tapping into multiple areas of design for inspiration. This season’s, titled “The Ride”, includes an array of limited-edition items, ranging from an electric bike to a Saint Laurent-branded surfboard.
