Yves Saint Laurent is undoubtedly one of the greatest French fashion designers of all time. The talent designer is best known for his Le Smoking suit. He is also one of the first to popularize Ready to Wear with his Rive Gauche line in 1966.
Unlike other French couturiers, Yves Saint Laurent took inspiration from the street for his couture collection. But he was equally influenced by art and paid homage to some of the greatest modern, cultural and classical artists of our times with literal fashion interpretations of their creations. His jersey dresses became canvass as he transformed evening wear into wearable art.
The chic ladies at Dos Mujeres y Un Vestido have written a fabulous blog post curating the works of Yves Saint Laurent alongside the original inspirations.
