Saint Laurent may be known as one of the most iconic fashion houses in the world, but the founders story is one of much humbler beginnings. After leaving Algeria for Paris as a teenager, Yves Saint Laurent worked for designer Christian Dior and soon gained acclaim for his sleek dress designs. Buoyed by this new-found confidence, he opened his eponymous label in 19661 and became known for this adaptations of female tuxedos. Since then, the brand has grown from strength to strength and continues to be one of the most successful ready-to-wear haute couture labels in the world.
