2 Saint-Laurent, Yves
(1936-2008)The most famous French fashion designer of the second half of the twentieth century. Taken on as a teenager by Christian Dior in the early fifties, Saint-Laurent so impressed his boss that Dior chose him as his successor. When Dior died suddenly in 1958, Saint-Laurent found himself head designer at the age of 21. After serious health problems, Saint-Laurent set up his own haute-couture (high fashion, designer clothes) company in 1961, with industrialist Pierre Bergé. After that, Saint-Laurent never looked back, as his fashion house became reputed as the trendsetter in French high fashion.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais. Agriculture Biologique > Saint-Laurent, Yves
