One of the Most Influential Designers of the 20th Century

Yves Saint Laurent born August 1936 and died June 1, 2008, was a French fashion designer, pioneer, visionary, risk taker and revolutionary.

He is credited for rescuing the house of Dior from ruin in 1957 at the age of 21 with the introduction of the “Trapeze” dress. This brought haute couture back to its former glory, and at the same time, he made ready-to-wear fashionable and desireable.

After winning a lawsuit against Dior in november 1960 for breach of contract, Saint Laurent branched out and launched his own brand. In the 60’s and 70’s, he is credited  for these trends: Beatnik, Safari jackets, tight trousers, tall thigh high boots, the classic tuxedo suit for women and in 1965 the Mondrian Collection.
