Yves Saint Laurent
Lauded as one of the most prominent fashion designers of the past
25 years, Yves Saint Laurent should be given credit for inspiring
the art of couture. At only 21 years old, Yves became the head
designer at Dior, with his debut collection in spring 1958 becoming
the saving grace for the company after the death of Christian Dior.
Yves is also credited with being the first French couturier to
introduce a ready-to-wear line of high-end couture for women.
Each of his designs incorporates his innate sense of style and reflects his personal daring and bold approach to taking calculated risks, all of which have proven to be great successes. Broadening his influence on haute couture, YSL started his own line of shoes, and to this day, his runway shows of complete head-to-toe ensembles, replete with matching handbags and shoes, are a success. The label has received accolades for its designs that are chic, sophisticated and the epitome of laidback elegance.
Over the years, the label has also introduced its own line of cosmetic care, with new versions of Yves Saint Laurent perfume and make up launched every season. These encapsulate the aura of high-end indulgence that the brand offers. His designs have been among the most talked about for seasons, be it for raising controversies or simply for their “wow” factor.
With his stellar contributions to the art of haute couture, and his dedication to making his mark in the fashion world, it is no wonder that Yves Saint Laurent is considered one of the most iconic figures in fashion in the 20th century.
