General info :
Yves Henri Donat Mathieu-Saint-Laurent (1 August 1936, Oran, French Algeria – 1 June 2008, Paris, France (aged 71)), often referred to as Yves Saint-Laurent, was a French fashion designer who, in 1961, founded his eponymous fashion label.

He is regarded as being among the foremost fashion designers of the twentieth century.
In 1985, Caroline Milbank wrote, "The most consistently celebrated and influential designer of the past twenty-five years, Yves Saint Laurent can be credited with both spurring the couture's rise from its 1960s ashes and with finally rendering ready-to-wear reputable." He developed his style to accommodate the changes in fashion during that period. He approached his aesthetic from a different perspective by helping women find confidence by looking both comfortable and elegant at the same time. He is also credited with having introduced the "Le Smoking" tuxedo suit for women and was known for his use of non-European cultural references, and diverse models.
Saint Laurent died on 1 June 2008 of brain cancer at his residence in Paris.
