Yves Saint Laurent - Paris Shopping

Long gone are the 1970s, when anything Yves St-Laurent did was touted by the international press as a sign of his genius and the fashionable French dressed up in his luxurious versions of Cossack costumes, replete with boleros, riding boots, and copies of antique jewelry from the Russian steppes. Hours of all branches are Monday 11am to 7pm; Tuesday to Saturday from 10:30am to 7pm. With the shutdown in 2003 of his couture department and the worldwide availability of off-the-rack Saint-Laurent franchises selling mass-market clothing around the world, there are now only four outlets in Paris that sell his clothing.
