Happy Birthday YSL
Soon very soon the fashion world will celebrate a Birthday (August 1st) of one of the iconic and influential designers of the fashion history : The YSL (Yves Saint Laurent)!
I’ve decided to dedicate this post to his art and share with you some fashion facts about his contribution to the industry and everyone of us, the fashionistas :
1. Did you know that partly, we owe him the idea of wearing men’s clothes?
In 1966 he did a fashion revolution when he presented a women in Smoking, which was considered as men’s outfit only.
He showed that women could wear “men’s clothes,” which when tailored to the female form became an emblem of elegant femininity.
2. Did you know that he was the first to introduce an idea of wearing a leather jacket as a fashion item?
In his collection, back in 1962 he wore his models in a black leather jacket on the runway , that has become one of the most popular items for every fashionista.
3. Did you know that YSL was the first designer who included the Over Knee Boots in one of his collections, this item was for men only as well, now it looks that it was always for us 😉
All of the above seems so obvious to us, but we’ve never really thought who was the first to expose us to these ideas …
Hope that now you all know the source and will be sharing this little discovering with other fashion lovers in the world !
Yours , M.
