Designer

Founded in 1961, Yves Saint Laurent is one of the most prominent fashion houses of the 20th century. Originally an haute couture house, Yves Saint Laurent revolutionized how fashion and society merge and interact in 1966 with the introduction of high-end clothing produced on a larger scale than exclusive collections. He also introduced a revolutionary take on women's clothing. Inspired by the structure of menswear and the sense of power that comes with wearing it, his approach was a celebration of the gender fluidity that shook the fashion industry.
