Fashion house Saint Laurent, formerly known as Yves Saint Laurent or YSL, has added a ready-to-wear apparel line for the Indian market. It is exclusively available through fashion concept store Le Mill.

YSL was the first couture house to introduce the concept of pret-à-porter by launching its Rive Gauche collection.

Under the creative direction of Anthony Vaccarello since April 2016, the house made its debut in India with the Vaccarello - Spring Summer 2017 collection.

The 36-year-old Belgian designer had been inspired by his recollection of a leopard-print dress with balloon sleeves from Yves Saint Laurent's 1982 collection, said a statement.

One can also take on oversized trousers, slashed up the leg, some slim-fit and long and sometimes sewn together in a pantsuit in the collection.

Le Mill is a concept store in Mumbai known for housing cutting-edge international labels and the most significant upcoming names in Indian fashion.
