On Sunday, famed fashion icon, Yves Saint Laurent passed away at the age of 71. Yves Saint Laurent was a young child prodigy responsible for taking the reigns of Christian Dior at the age of 21 and resurrecting their business.
Saint Laurent pushed the envelope with his innovative and shocking designs. Yves Saint Laurent was responsible for many of the outfits we wear on an everyday basis. Without his vision, we wouldn’t have a lot of the items that we have worn at some point in our lives. Items such as the pea jacket, bubble dress, or the woman’s pantsuit, that helped revive fashion in France and ultimately the world.
