Yves Saint Laurent Eyewear
Eyewear / Eyewear By Brands / Yves Saint LaurentIt’s no surprise that an ingénue of Christian Dior’s would do so well for himself in the fashion world. Hired as Dior’s assistant at the age of seventeen, he was named the head of the fashion house when Dior died four years later. He later established his own fashion house and in a very short time established his own name on the fashion scene. He had some unconventional ideas that quickly became conventional because they were genius: tuxedo suits for women, safari jackets for women, a full prêt-a-porter line that brought fashion to the masses, and using ethnic models in his runway shows. He was an innovator in every sense of the word. Saint-Laurent died in 2008, but his fashion house lives on. Creative heads in the company’s history have included such legends as Alber Elbaz and Tom Ford. In addition to haute couture and prêt-a-porter, Yves Saint Laurent also designs accessories, including eyewear.
