A little bit story, guys
The little prince of haute couture, the child prodigy of haute couture, the fashion revolutionary – all these epithets deserve the great fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. At the age of 19 he became a pupil and an assistant of Christian Dior, at 21 he headed the Fashion House of Christian Dior, and at 26 he founded his own brand Yves Saint Laurent. What are the main achievements of Yves? The famous clothes designer erased the boundaries between men’s and women’s closet, dressing the beautiful half of humanity in a tuxedo with straight cut pants. In 1966 he created a collection that became the starting point of the safari style. Fashionable women all over the world appreciated jackets with patch pockets, wide belts and dresses with laces. Yves Saint Laurent popularized leather jackets and introduced high boots into the women’s closet. He united the world of art and fashion by creating dresses of fabrics with abstract paintings.
In 1962, Yves Saint Laurent created a real fashion revolution, rethinking the classic men’s suit, giving it sexuality and as a result introducing the first women’s tuxedo. The fashion pundits were shocked, but the most daring women of the time embraced the innovation with gusto. Legend has it that when a devotee of YSL came to the restaurant at The Plaza Hotel in a tuxedo and pants, she was not allowed in due to non-compliance with the dress code – then the resourceful fashion rebel took off her pants and proudly walked to an empty table.
