4 min read December 4, 2020 Ashley Miller

The name Yves Saint Laurent is synonymous with Haute Couture style. The spirit of Paris is fully expressed in creations of this influential fashion house which was the first to introduce the concept of luxury prêt-à-porter. The first job of Yves Saint Laurent was as the design assistant of Christian Dior, and he proceeded as his successor when Dior died in 1957.

In 1961 he started his own couture house having become a real breeze in the fashion world with his revolutionary designs. The thirst for life, the energy of youth and the rejection of conventions and compromises – these are the things that have always been a source of inspiration for the brand. 
Yves Saint Laurent turned fashion into art. The modern chic style of his elegant unforgettable designs gained well-deserved recognition and made him a famous and meaningful figure in the fashion world. The great couturier left his mark in history having made a significant contribution into the world’s art of fashion. With his iconic designs he rewrote the story of couture and prêt-à-porter.  

The absolute freedom has always been the basic philosophy of Saint Laurent – the freedom to be oneself, to be different from others, to enjoy every moment of life. Laurent’s innovations were criticized but the designer worked to turn his extraordinary ideas into unparalleled chic female images. He has always been a nonconformist, standing at the forefront of fashion and his creations entirely changed the idea of women’s garments.
Yves Saint Laurent added to women’s wardrobe elements of men’s costume: designer’s legendary perfectly tailored tuxedo, remains the signature style and marks Saint Laurent’s influence on fashion.
