Great Fashion Designers of the 20th century
Yves Saint Laurent (1936-2008) is considered to be one of the most influential fashion
designers of the twentieth century. His designs have been copied many times and his ideas
form the basis of many of today’s most famous fashion labels. Saint Laurent was born in
Algeria but at the age of seventeen he moved to Paris to work for the famous clothes
designer, Christian Dior. At first Dior had him copy patterns and help with details, but it was
clear that this young man had a great talent for design. So, when Christian Dior died in
1957, the job of chief designer was given to Saint Laurent by the directors of the Dior
fashion house.
Saint Laurent created his first fashion collection for Dior in 1958. His designs for Dior were
a huge success and within a few years he was making plans to start his own business. The
new company was set up by Saint Laurent in 1962 and quickly became the most successful
French fashion house of the 1960s and 70s.
But it wasn’t enough for Saint Laurent to design clothes for the rich and famous. He wanted
to create designs that anybody could afford. So in 1966 he formed a new company called
Rive Gauche and had his clothes mass-produced in different sizes, so that anybody could
wear them.
Saint Laurent always wanted to be different from other designers. For example, it is said
that he was one of the first French designers to use black models in his shows. And he was
certainly the first designer to put women in trouser suits and dinner jackets – clothes that
had previously only been worn by men.
