subject: Yves Saint Laurent's Ivory Silk Gown [print this page] Yves Saint Laurent, the man behind Le Smoking tuxedo suit
Yves Saint Laurent is not a new name in fashion; founded in 1962 this brand is synonymous with sophistication, innovation and finesse. From "le smoking" to the drop-crotch pant, Yves Saint Laurent is undeniably an iconic French label. The brand not only continues to push fashion boundaries it has never compromised on style. 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 sixties ashes and with finally rendering ready-to-wear reputable". It was a great lose for the fashion fraternity when Saint Laurent died in 2008. Hard to believe this gifted man was just 21 when he became the head designer of the House of Dior after the death of Christian Dior.
This Fall, expect a cool monochrome palette and a polished mix of perennially chic totes, glossy platform pumps and striking cocktail rings from Stefano Pilati's fall line for the brand.
