The eternal, Yves Saint Laurent
Share
Style authority, source of inspiration and great exponent of French fashion.
The exploration of femininity was a constant in the career of this French couturier. Although he was born in 1936, his brand shined from 1961 in Paris. Yes, a time full of changes and a promising future for women who loved style.
The DNA? Total elegance and a distinctive twist that won the hearts of all. From his straight lines to more urban garments, including a tuxedo designed exclusively for women. With avant-garde proposals that competed with innovation against the most established houses in the industry, he became one of the most influential designers of his time.
Among the high and creative peaks of his long career in fashion, the reference to art stands out. This designer created pieces that took inspiration from the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian; precisely, one of his most iconic creations is the Mondrian dress, a straight piece with a round neck full of color and that is highly recognizable.
Among other achievements, this renowned designer was committed to promoting the blazer for women, garments full of sensuality and of course, striped jackets. The 60s and 70s saw him at his best, but the 80s also saw much of his success.
Of course, the credit was also shared. In the life of this designer there was a key man: Pierre Bergé. In addition to his partner, it was well known that he became a fundamental part of the business. He helped him to formalize his sensitivity into a real company. The businessman remained at his side at all times, until Yves's own death in 2008.
Yes, one of the eternal designers. He will never be forgotten and his legacy continues with a firm that still bears his name, offering under total exclusivity: ready-to-wear lines, shoes, handbags, leather goods, belts, sunglasses, jewelry, perfumes and much more (for both women and men).
