Master Yves Saint Laurent sketching for the house of Dior. Yves Saint Laurent’s formative years at Dior were decisive in shaping both his career and the future of fashion. After moving to Paris as a teenager, he was introduced to Christian Dior in 1955 and quickly became his most trusted assistant. When Dior died in 1957, Saint Laurent was appointed artistic director at just 21 yo. His debut collection, marked a clear departure from Dior’s structured New Look, proposing a lighter, freer silhouette that was immediately embraced by critics and clients. If you’re a fashion lover I highly recommend watching the 2014 film about the life of the master “Yves Saint Laurent”, or even simply reading his biography on the website of the Paris museum dedicated to the designer, where you can find photos of original sketches, details about his career, and rare photographs • • • • • • #ysl #yvessaintlaurent #dior #50s #fashion
