Biography of all fashion designers

In the year, Saint Loran becomes his assistant. At first, IV was engaged in the adornment of the studio or the creation of accessories. But in the end, he was still allowed to present several sketches for the couture collection. Dior was pleased with them, and every season more and more work of IVER was accepted. Christian Dior later admitted: “Yves Saint Laran is young, but he has an immense talent.

In my last collection, I consider it the creator of 34 of the designs. I think it's time to reveal this to the press. My reputation will not suffer from this. ” Two years later, Dior died suddenly. Investors make a bold decision, offering Saint Loran to become a successor to the famous master. Then the IVA had only a few months to prepare the new spring-summer collection, he flew home to Oran and made about 15 days near the drawings.

In anticipation of the show, everyone believed that the new chapter would inherit the manner of his predecessor, who created feminine collections with lush fitted silhouettes of New Look. But the short trapezoid dresses that Yves Saint Loran presented to the public turned out to be a completely different direction in fashion. Until now, Dior collections have been distinguished by smooth, rounded outlines and were addressed to women with already formed, mature beauty.

The defile of Saint Laran, on the contrary, was intended for younger girls. On the catwalk there are shortened motorcycle jackets and costumes combined with turtlenecks. The ideas of the young couturier seem too avant-garde investors and, taking advantage of Saint-Laran to the army, they carry out reorganization and invite to the post of the leader of another talented designer-Mark Boan.

To cope with the nervous breakdown, aggravated by the army service, and his friend and business partner Pierre Berget helps to correct his affairs to Saint Laurent. A court lawsuit for premature termination of the contract was filed against investors. The first collection, shown that year, creates the reputation of the anarchist from fashion. The designer takes to the podium model in a double -breasted suit, which until then was considered the privilege of the male image.

He is the first to represents a woman in a shortened coat-tight and transparent blouses. Experts called it a sensation. Almost every defile couturier was distinguished by the shock, marked by his non -standard vision of fashion.

In the year, Yves becomes a model for advertising the men's perfume Yves Saint Laurent Pour Homme, in which it poses completely naked. In the year, Saint Loran sells his house to the pharmaceutical giant Sanofi, staying at the helm. As a result of the exchange crisis, Yves Saint Loran loses many investors and decides to stop the release of READY-to-WEAR collections, engaged only in high fashion.

He created the Haute Couture collections up to a year. Saint-Loran was developing a couture collection, and for the cosmetics and line the Ready-to-Wear line was entrusted with Tom Ford and Domenico de Sole. His farewell show was a retrospective defile in the center of Pompide. The final chord of the show was the performance of the long -standing Muse Kuturier - Katrin Denev, during which many do not hold back tears.

Unlike Tom Ford who left the high post, a good relationship quickly develops between him and couturier. Pilate is not trying to copy what the maestro did, but retains commitment to the Yves Saint Laurent culture, which proclaimed the luxury of an integral part of life. In his collections, the focus on elegance and sensuality is primarily placed, without any hint of screaming sexuality, which Ford admired.

His health, blown up in previous years, deteriorated, and in the year the master was forced to return to Paris to undergo treatment in one of the clinics. His ashes, according to the will, was scattered over the garden of Villa Majorel, which he loved very much. After his appointment, there were many disputes. He decided to rename the brand in Saint Laurent. But the YSL logo was preserved for accessories and cosmetics.

Another shock for the brand is the move of the design studio to California. In addition, now on the catwalk the grunks and rock and roll were dominated, and the girl in the style of Saint Laurent became the real dream of a biker: energetic, impudent and at the same time romantic rock star. In the year, Sliman volunteered to revive the couture collection of the brand.

But, alas, a year later he left the fashion house. Sliman was replaced by Anthony Vaccarello - a fan of mini, asymmetry and sexuality. For the sake of cooperation with the legendary house, he suspends work on his own brand and is completely focused on the heritage of Saint Laurent. Vaccarello resurrects the iconic models of the brand in his characteristic provocative manner, sings Oda M and draws the image of a self -sufficient, self -confident seducer.

The same thing happened with Edi and with Stefano. I am ready for this, I even like it, ”says the designer. Significant things of Iva Saint Laurean.
