Yves Saint Laurent was the first fashion designer to make see through clothes, but he was the first one to expose life in a museum too. It was in 1983 in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

His name is a legend, his firm an empire, and his catwalks a ritual. Forty years after having presented his "Trapecio" colection, that gave him the nickname "little man of high couture", Yves Saint Lareunt continues to be an enigma, a millionarie anarchist who only says "the only thing i resent is not having invented jeans". He was the first one to launch the "cazadora negra" (in 1960 for

… More Dior), high heels and great humility beyond Dior...

Being only 18 years old, he started working for Christian Dior, where he replaced Dior himself by directing his two year old firm, then becoming the most young designer in french high couture.

His career with Dior ended in 1960 when he was called by the French military service. In 1962, it ended and instead of going home, he created his own brand, Yves Saint Laurent.
