About Yves Saint Laurent Designer
- Yves Henri Donat Mathieu-Saint-Laurent (, also UK: , US: , French: [iv s?~ l???~]; 1 August 1936 – 1 June 2008), professionally known as Yves Saint-Laurent, was a French fashion designer who, in 1961, founded his eponymous fashion label.
- He is regarded as being among the foremost fashion designers in the twentieth century.
- In 1985, Caroline Rennolds Milbank wrote, "The most consistently celebrated and influential designer of the past twenty-five years, Yves Saint Laurent can be credited with both spurring the couture's rise from its 1960s ashes and with finally rendering ready-to-wear reputable." He was able to adapt his style to accommodate the changes in fashion during that period.
- He approached fashion in a different perspective by wanting women to look comfortable yet elegant at the same time.
- He is also credited with having introduced the tuxedo suit for women and was known for his use of non-European cultural references, and non-white models.
