10 Favorite Fashion Houses: Yves Saint-Laurent

Yves Saint Laurent

Yves Saint Laurent is a french fashion house founded by Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Bergé in 1962. Saint Laurent died in 2008 and it's now Stefano Pilati who's the main designer. On June 21, 2012, the brand has been renamed Saint Laurent Paris.

In 1966, Yves Saint Laurent created the Le Smoking tuxedo for women. It gave women the power and the option to wear clothes that were normally worn by men. The first ones were black but today, we can find anywhere tuxedo of many colors and prints. It always been a true staple piece. Many people say that he revolutionized women's fashion with this timeless piece. Still today, the brand offers variations of the tuxedo in their collections, whether it's white, grey, military style or striped. To quote Yves Saint Laurent: “For a woman, Le Smoking is an indispensable garment with which she finds herself continually in fashion, because it is about style, not fashion. Fashions come and go, but style is forever.”

I would really love to own a pair of Yves Saint Laurent High Top Sneaker in black leather. I want a pair of sneakers like this for ages and these are perfect! We can wear it with almost everything. When you wear it with shorts, skirts or dresses, it make the look more edgy and it add a little touch of ''swag''. And when you wear it with a pair of jeans or with any pair of pants, your outfit will be more masculine. These shoes represent well my style and it's very expensive so i'm going to continue to search for shoes that looks like these dream shoes. Another thing i would like to have from this fashion house is the popular Yves Saint Laurent shirt. It's originally a men's shirt but i have seen a lot of female fashion blogger wearing this top. Because it's a shirt for men, you need to wear it with feminine clothes. I would wear it tucked in a leather pleated skirt with the High Top Sneaker in black leather that i presented above. Also, i would pair it with pink, blue and orange floral print trousers and with some gold sneakers.
