Discover the inspiring story of Yves Saint Laurent, the ground-breaking designer who changed fashion forever.
Growing up in the Algerian city of Oran, little Yves loved exploring his mothers wardrobe and designing dresses for paper dolls. But life outside his family wasnt always happy - at school, he was teased for having different hobbies and sometimes, he even pretended to be ill to avoid lessons. Still, Yves didnt let the mean voices hold him back. He continued to carve his creative path and spent hours sewing tiny outfits from scraps of fabric, dreaming of a future in fashion.
At eighteen, his hard work paid off when he was invited to join a top fashion school in Paris, and after even more hard work, Yves was invited to join the famous fashion house Dior, where he became their lead designer! Later, with the support of his lifelong partner Pierre, Yves started his own fashion house. His bold and stylish designs - like tuxedo suits and pea coats - revolutionised womens clothing and continue to influence fashion today.
