Maison Goossens has collaborated with Yves Saint Laurent for several decades, including during the period when the brand had a line called Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche. The Rive Gauche line was launched in 1966 and was known for its more casual and accessible designs compared to Yves Saint Laurent's haute couture collections.
During the Rive Gauche era, Maison Goossens created jewelry pieces for the brand that were in keeping with the line's more youthful and relaxed aesthetic. The pieces were often characterized by their bold and playful designs, incorporating elements such as colored stones and quirky motifs.
Despite the more casual nature of the Rive Gauche line, the Maison Goossens jewelry pieces created for Yves Saint Laurent were still crafted with the same exceptional quality and attention to detail as the brand's haute couture collections.
