Yves Saint Laurent - YSL Clothes

 

YSL Clothes Section:

In 1953 Yves Mathieu Saint Laurent arrived in Paris and attendedthe Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture School. After winning a competition he was introduced to Christian Dior. Dior was impressed and took him on as his personal assistant. YSL launched his first collection in 1958. Today YSL is an internationally respected fashion brand.

Born in Algeria in 1936, Yves Saint Laurent established houses of couture and boutiques in Paris and New York. He was the foremost assistant to Christian Dior and became his successor as head of the House of Dior at the age of 21.

His early collections were noted for their extreme, maverick quality. He opened his own Paris house in 1961, featuring the “chic beatnik” look; knitted turtlenecks; thigh-length boots; and short jackets. He revolutionized the fashion world by creating trousers and broad-shouldered suits that were images of power for women.

His later designs include sophisticated tweed suits, the Mondrian dress, pleated skirts, updated peasant costumes, tuxedos for women, and heavy costume jewelry. He also designed for the Ballets of Roland Petit. By the mid-1970s his design empire included sweaters, neckties, eyeglass cases, linens, children's clothes, and fragrances. Gucci acquired his ready-to-wear and cosmetics divisions in 2000. Yves St. Laurent announced his retirement in 2002.
