Saint Laurent Paris generated revenue rises across all of its regions in 2012.
Momentum was particularly strong in Asia-Pacic regions that the Asia-
Pacic region was the main growth driver, reporting a sales rise of 21% in
2012 compared to previous year 2011, 16%. In Saint Laurent Pariss
traditional markets sales growth was a very solid 22.8%. Despite the
unfavorable economic environment, sales in Western Europe accounted for
39.8% of the brands total revenue, North America and Japan sales slightly
rose although revenue in Western Europe and North America is not a good
nancial performance compared to other regions. As the revenue by product
category shows, leather goods and shoes have a strong growth while ready-
to-wear and other products have decreasing revenue. Overall, the company
generated strong rises in emerging markets as well as Asia-Pacic regions.
Leather goods and shoes have strong growth for business that lead the
company to keep one of top luxury brands, especially leather goods (PPR
reference, 2013, p. 140).

COMPANY PROFILE
PART I MARKET RESEARCH
Yves Saint Laurent is one of the greatest fashion designers having an original
talent in his era and the most inuential designer today. Yves Saint Laurent
and his business partner, Pierre Berge, opened Saint Laurents own couture
house in 1961 after wining a legal suit against the House of Dior for unfair
dismissal and he and Pierre Berge had a huge success. In 1963, YSL logo
was designed by A. M. Cassandre (Hermsen, 2004).

In 1967, Saint Laurent introduced le smoking suit, which became the most
famous tuxedo suit for women and iconic style, and the trouser suit was
symbolized womens goal of equality. Saint Laurent opened the rst Rive
Gauche, ready-to-wear boutique, in Paris in 1966 (Hermsen, 2004).

Designs were popularized by Yves Saint Laurent are beatnik look, safari
jacket, le smoking suit, Mondrian dress, pea-coats, see-through look, tight
pants and tall, thigh-high boots and classic tuxedo suit for women that he
always wanted women to be liberated by dress. Also, he wished women
would be more condent about clothes and his trouser suit became the
uniform of the new assertive, independent woman. Yves Saint Laurent was
the rst to popularize ready-to-wear in attempt to democratize fashion that
aimed at younger women in his era (Ann et al., 2002).

Gucci Group acquired Yves Saint Laurent brand in 1999 and Tom Ford was
appointed as Creative Director for ready-to-wear line. On March 2012, Yves
Saint Laurent and PPR announced the appointment of Hedi Slimane as
Creative Director at Yves Saint Laurent and he has total creative responsibility
for the brands image and all its collections (PPR reference, 2013, p. 25).

HISTORY
THE BRAND
PART I MARKET RESEARCH
Hedi Slimane decided to rebrand Yves Saint Laurent, changing the name of the
ready-to-wear line to Saint Laurent Paris. Hedi Slimane was interested in giving
the brand more of a youth, freedom and modernity as he begins his tenure
there so that he rebranded Yves Saint Laurent to make more young and fresh
while keeping core brands value constructed by Yves Saint Laurent (Mau,
2012).
The company introduced its new logo on its Facebook page in June 2012,
many of YSLs fans said that the new logo was boring and genuinely
disappointing. And, it was controversial issue that logo change was necessary
between most of YSLs fans and fashion people (Alexander, 2012).

In terms of distribution, the company continues expansion of its global retail
presence featuring with new store concept. The focus is not only on emerging
markets but also on further development in the USA, Europe and Japan.
Existing stores are progressively redesigned with the new store concept that
could appeal to younger clients. Also, with companys aggressive investment in
advertising and global communication, they could reach to more upper class as
well as middle class (PPR reference, 2013, p. 25).

womens wardrobes and continue to symbolize French chic, muscular
feminine elegance and the power of seduction. Saint Laurent Paris is
positioned at the high end of the luxury goods market, renewing the
exceptional legacy of its founder (PPR reference, 2011, p. 46).
In recent business time, as shown 2013 and 2014 collections, we

RETAILING
Saint Laurent Paris offers luxury products through directly-operated stores
accounted for 60% of the companys revenue in 2012, franchise stores, and
department and specialty stores. In 2013, the company has directly-operated 104
stores; best-performing regions were the Middle East, sales growth jumped up
20.8%, and Greater China, revenue rose 24.3%. Also, in its traditional markets,
sales were up a 14.9%. The company continues to expand its stores all around the
world (Kering rst, 2013, p. 22).

Several freestanding stores under franchise agreements opened all around the
world, notably in the Middle East and in Malaysia and the company continues to
sign a franchise agreement with UAE. Franchise stores opened mainly in the
Middle East as well as Asia Pacic where the regions became huge prot driver for
the company (PPR reference, 2009, p. 51).

As Saint Laurent Paris invested advertisement and media through editorial
exposure and celebrity product placements, the company could have more
competitive position in luxury markets and be more close to a broad range of
customers through media exposure (PPR reference, 2012, p. 29).
Saint Laurent Paris introduced its new store concept which was inspired by the
techniques and materials of French art deco and designed by Hedi Slimane that
new store concept expands worldwide aggressively. The ysl.com website became
a dynamic e-commerce platform that it gives customers more convenience to
shop and more close to customers so that the company could see strong growth
in revenue and brand recognition recently. The company has invested in social
media and communications as well that it has extraordinary success in social
platforms so, the company could approach many customers, especially the young,
and gain more huge popularity. The company had nearly 1.2 million fans on
Facebook and was one of the most popular luxury brands on Twitter over 1.1
million followers (PPR reference, 2013, p. 25).

McQueen, Balenciaga, Stella McCartney, and so on. Gucci and Saint
Laurent, as luxury fashion label, are catering to a luxury market (About

LVMH is the most direct competitor of Kering. LVMH includes the
luxury brands, such as Fendi, Donna Karan, Givenchy, Marc Jacobs,

EXPLANATION OF

Strengths
Yves Saint Laurent has a long history that Saint Laurent opened his own couture
house with Pierre Berge in 1961 and then he opened the Rive Gauche pret-a-
porter boutique in 1966 to sell his designs directly to the public attention. With
Rive Gauche ready-to-wear boutique, he popularized ready-to-wear to
democratize fashion. Saint Laurent wanted women to make their own personal
style with his clothing. Saint Laurent himself, many endorsers and loyal customers
do love and respect Saint Laurents design concept.
Saint Laurent Paris is owned by Kering that offers two fast growing segments
across the world; luxury brands, including Gucci, Alexander Mcqueen, Balenciaga,
Stella McCartney, etc., and sport & lifestyle brands, including Puma, Volcom, etc.,
that are best known brands across the world. With strong brands and worldwide
recognition, Saint Laurent Paris enable to penetrate new markets easily as well as
retaining customers in a highly competitive environment (Kering SWOT, 2013).
Weaknesses
Saint Laurent Paris is not well known in the average household as other luxury
brands like Louis Vuitton or Gucci. Louis Vuitton and Gucci have a strong brand
power all around the world. Gucci is also owned by the same company, Kering,
and Gucci is one of the leading luxury brands in the world. Also, LVMH operates
through a multi-brand concept which means the company produces and sells its
products under the different brands and has strong brand portfolio, like Kering.
Also, Gucci and Louis Vuitton have more strong geographic presence and nancial
performance than Saint Laurent Paris (LVMH SWOT, 2013).
Kering saw that the groups revenue has shown a steady increase in recent times,
but its prot margins have not been able to keep up with the margins of its
competitors, LVMH and Gucci. According to the statistics, Kerings operating
margin was 18.1% in 2012, while LVMH had an operating margin of 20.4%
(Kerings SWOT, 2013).

PART I MARKET RESEARCH

Opportunities
Saint Laurent Paris continues an strong expansion of its global retail presence
with new store concept. The company focuses on emerging markets as well as
US, Europe, and Japan. Also, Saint Lauren Paris saw growing revenue in Asia-
Pacic countries and emerging markets, like Middle East and China so that the
company also expands global presence into the strong markets in those
countries.
In recent business time, Saint Laurent Paris has strong investments and
development of brand. When Hedi Slimane was appointed as Creative Director
at Saint Laurent Paris, he wanted to rebrand, such as youth, freedom and
modernity so that he changed its original logo to Saint Laurent Paris and
introduced new retro branding in 2012 that retro collection hit the stores. With
its new collections, Saint Laurent Paris appeals many of young people, who
dont understand about its founder, Yves Saint Laurent, and its core brand
identity. Also, Saint Laurent Paris develops e-commerce and new store concept
that have more appealing design than its competitors (PPR reference,
2012, p. 25).
Threats
Although Saint Laurent Paris saw a stable revenue increases in Europe and
U.S., the company could not see high revenue increases because of rising
labor costs in European and American markets. Saint Laurent Paris signicantly
operates in Europe so that increasing labor costs could affect the groups
operating costs and could impact the revenue inversely. Saint Laurent Paris has
been facing intense competition from Gucci and Louis Vuitton, which are more
identiable brand and have strong brand power around the world. Gucci and
Louis Vuitton have more strong global presence and nancial performance than
Saint Laurent Paris. Also, they are signicantly larger and have substantially
greater resources than Kering (Kering SWOT, 2013).

PRODUCT COMPARISON
When Hedi Slimane was appointed as Creative Director at Saint Laurent Paris
in 2012, he renamed the brand and rebranded its collections that its design
concept and trends have become very young but he recaptured its core brand
value, freedom and modernity. Thus, Saint Laurent Paris offers girls look
through 2013 and 2014 collection that collections showed Slimanes obsessive
reconceptualization of Girls Today (Blanks, 2013).

Saint Laurent Pariss ofcial website offers luxury dress, tailored shirt and
jacket, leather jacket, trench coat, and sweatshirt that they focused on the
young people compared to Gucci (Shop women, n.d.). Gucci offers more chic
and sophisticated looks focusing on working women and men featuring of
looks with very splendid pattern (Gucci collections, 2012). Louis Vuitton offers
clothing with colorful grid pattern and very feminine look, while Saint Laurent
Paris offers mostly clothing with black color and rocker chic look.

Gucci has very similar trend with Saint Laurent Paris. Guccis trends are paint
it black and second skin that Gucci offers dress, jacket, bags, and
accessories with all black and bags, pants, and accessories with chic leather
(Guccis collections, 2012). Louis Vuittons collections are also very similar
with Saint Laurents collection, such as girls look and puck (Louis Vuittons
women, 2013). Also, Saint Laurent Paris and two competitors have similar
design concept that is classic, practical, and sophisticated look when it comes
to handbags. Louis Vuitton and Saint Laurent Paris are very similar design
concept in recent RTW collections, such as muscular-feminine, punk, casual-
chick look, and girls look.

MARKET POSITION
PART I MARKET RESEARCH
43
Saint Laurent Paris has its own iconic style that it is muscular feminine and
rocker chic looks as well as Yves Saint Laurents core brand concept, the
founder of Rive Gauche. Hedi Slimane is obsessed with girls look so that he
introduced vintage, punk, and rocker chic look in two collections but, he keeps
Yves Saint Laurents core brand identity; freedom and modernity.

In directly opposition to Saint Laurent Paris, Gucci has comfortable look trend
which is sporty new direction, track pants, basketball shorts, and lose tops with
colorful pattern. Also, collection has freer in silhouette as well as luxury that is
Guccis main design concept (Phelps, 2013).
Louis Vuitton has mix and match trend and texture play in RTWs offering that
collections have very feminine and classic look so that clothing with those trends
embraces a wide range of customers age as well as avant-garde rock-chic looks
(Louis Vuittons women, 2013).

The trends Saint Laurent Paris should consider for upcoming season are that
different design concept, material uses, and silhouette. Hedi Slimane do love
girls look, punk, and vintage concept shown in 2013 and 2014 collections that
girls look was introduced in 2013 collection and it was shown in 2014 collection
again. It is understandable that Saint Laurent Paris and Kering need to appeal
more young people that have strong purchasing power so that the company
showed those two similar collections. However, Saint Laurent Paris should
consider its core brand value for upcoming collection, such as tailored muscular
feminine tuxedo with perfect tting and trouser suit that gives edge and classic
look and embraces a broad range of customers. Also, many of loyal customers
might expect that Saint Laurent Paris would show those muscular feminine and
more classic looks, which are its core brand value, in its collection again.

Recently, she is seeking for androgynous and feminine looks for upcoming
season, such as slouchy tailored suits, oversized coat, and skirt suits, because her
favorite style is manish look. Also, she wants to achieve modern and minimal look
by mixing and matching her own wardrobe with feminine looks so that she could
make her look keep edge and chic and achieve feminine and minimal look with
androgynous and retro vintage look.
Saint Laurent Paris and some other designers, including Lanvin, Christopher Kane,
Louis Vuitton, Antonio Marras, and so on, showed androgynous chic and feminine
looks for their Fall 2014 and last fall season, such as very tailored pants suit,
oversized coat, wide shoulder with cinched waist, cut-out dress, leather, tartan,
and metallic that those key trends would perfectly match Saint Laurent Pariss fall
2014 collection.

Whenever fall season coming, comfortable and cozy silhouette, masculine tailoring,
retro look, and sports-chic with warm and bold, rich color, and monochrome toned
palette usually become predominant fashion trend that those silhouette or look
provide bulkier volume for layering and femininity as well as minimal and chic look
with neutral colors and warm feeling with rich colors. In fall 2014, the most
predominant trend theme is androgynous, sleep walker, retro; 50,60, and 70s,
heritage; plaid, slit major, and sports (Womens trend, 2013).
Androgynous look always is dominant trend in fall season that gives chic and edge
look as well as retro vintage look, 50, 60, and 80s revival, that provide feminine and
modern minimalism. Also, plaids and sports look are still popular trend in fall 2014.
Specically, fall 2014 collection will be featuring more key items for womens lifestyle
rather than weather-related clothing unlike last fall collections (LeTrent, 2014).

TREND REPORT
Colors
In terms of colors, monochrome color, such as
black, white, and charcoal, are the most important
core colors. As predominant cool colors from the
previous season shifts to warm tone, rich shades
and bold color palette are dominant color in fall
2014 but, cool colors still act as accents as well
as metallics. Berry tones, ultra blue, new mallard
green, and Thai orange act as a fashion color
(WGSN, 2014). Also, red and pales colors play
an important role for this season acting as fashion
color (Doneger, 2013).
Fabrics
In terms of fabrics, natural skins and furs, leather,
wool, and plaids or tartan are the dominant trend
of fall 2014 as well as houndstooth, softly
romantic fabrics in full of tweeds, twills, hairy and
furry textures, and winter lace and sheers. Also,
embellishments are important key items as well. In
terms of prints, plaid stays on as a major pattern
trend in fall/winter 2014 as well as digital prints,
folk motifs, psychedelic prints, and modern art
(Parascan, 2013). Print trend themes, including
industrial evolution, modern myth, and rendering
reality, are also popular for fall 2014 (WGSN,

CONCEPT BOARD
Architecture 101 (Womens Revolution)
The collections theme reects the combination of feminine and masculine that it is
inspired by 60s fashion and its trend gives unisex silhouette as well as manish and
ladylike looks. In the 60s era, mens trend was very tailored-suit look and womens trend
was rened femininity and elegant style. Also, it reects Yves Saint Laurents core design
philosophy that he designed womens clothing to give freedom without loosing
aesthetics.

WGSN and Doneger state that monochromatic and soft mid-tones are core colors
for a subtle, salable color story. Warm tones, red shades, ultra blue, purple, and
green act as fashion color. Pastel colors, such as pink pearl, peach, and pale skin,
give fresh look on tops and bottoms. Metallic gold and silver are strong accent
colors and cool colors still act as accent colors that add warmth and shine
(WGSN, 2013).

For the new line of the company, Saint Laurent Paris will keep its signature color,
black. Main colors consist of neutral colors and warm-tone and deep-rich color,
such as charcoal, deep blue, red alert, and malachite. Also, some accent colors will
be used vivid green, pea, or metallic gold.

Saint Laurent Paris embraced a broad range of customers, age between 25 and 50
originally. However, recently the company became targeted at very young male and
female. As Hedi Slimane is in charge of Total Creative Director, the companys design
concept became very young, girls look, and rock-chic style that those design concept
is more accessible to the younger demographic. Also, many young women are
obsessed with skinniness that they tend to feel better and buy more when they t into
a smaller size. So, retail companies tend to cut size down which means the smaller
the garment size, the larger the prots (Trifn, 2014).
Saint Laurent will offer letter size for tops, skirts, dress, and jackets/coats and number
size for trousers. Companys line more focuses on a smaller size so that small size has
the highest percentage gure, but medium size also has nearly the same percentage
as small size.

color. Specically, metallic colors are strong key colors in fall 2014. Saint Laurent Paris

The collections concept was inspired by 60s fashion, which was one of the
popular fashion trend for fall 2014, and its trend gives unisex silhouette as well
as manish and ladylike looks. The name of the line, Architecture 101, was
created with the purpose, to deliver the collections theme that very tailored
and structured silhouette not only reect masculine look, but also femininity.

A building is usually designed to be in harmony with natural environment so
that abstract buildings and natural elements used in Saint Laurents electronic
catalog convey the meaning of the collections concept properly. Thus, Saint
Laurents electronic catalog includes natural elements, constructions, objects
related to interior designs, and sculptures because objects related to
architecture and natural elements could emphasize the line theme as well as
color story of the collection, such as black dominated color, white, and bold
color. Also, the concept of the catalog could accentuate each garments of fall
2014 collection, such as tuxedo suit, oversized coat, tailored and vintage shirt,
slouchy and tailored trouser, mini skirt and dress, and leather clothing.

WINDOW DISPLAY
EXPLANATION
Saint Laurent Paris identies itself as a boutique store. Its building is made of
white rough rock and the building has a two large closed windows for
displaying garments on the either side and two small windows just above the
closed windows. By using white color of building and black color of window
frame for the companys store, customers and people could recognize easily
what the brand is because they are its signature color. Also, the colors reect
the companys line concept. And, there are two types of arcade windows on the
either side so that customers can see the look of the companys key items
when they go inside of the store.

According to the Trend Hunter (2013), surreal storefront displays are very
popular window concept with many retail stores, such as mystical, spectacular,
movie-inspired, playful, whimsical window displays, and so on. So, window
display for Saint Laurent has an abstract art theme featuring abstract steel tree
and square sculpture, a solid gure, torso mannequins, and couch made of
leather and marble so that the props can show the line concept, Architecture
101, and they harmonize with the merchandise collection that mannequins are
wearing.

And, each window displays the companys line concept, androgynous and
feminine look. And, each window could convey the collections color, like
monochrome and bold palette, and silhouette concept, like oversized, tailored
look, and t shape. Each window brings the androgynous and feminine look
but, the concept of window display could reect the main line theme,
Architecture 101, like very structured, tailored look and modern minimalism.
