Biography
French fashion designer Yves Henri Donat Mathieu-Saint-Laurent (1936 – 2008), professionally known as Yves Saint-Laurent, began his career at the age of 19 as a protege to Christian Dior, and was swiftly promoted to head designer of the House of Dior a few years later after Dior's untimely death. Saint Laurent left Dior to found his eponymous fashion label in 1961. He is regarded as being among the foremost fashion designers in the twentieth century. His approach to women's fashion involved pursuing an elegant look without sacrificing comfort. 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.
