# Yves Saint Laurent (@yves-saint-laurent)

Yves Saint Laurent was a French fashion designer who founded his couture house with Pierre Bergé. The work is associated with precise tailoring, art references, color, and the transfer of menswear forms into womenswear. Major examples include Le Smoking tuxedo, Mondrian dresses, safari jackets, and influential ready-to-wear collections. A balanced account also considers his reshaping of modern wardrobes and the relationship between couture and ready-to-wear.
