Yeah I said it, YSL “The Man”, I mean he made garments that are still impossible to replicate beyond emulation. Heck, he was head designer at the Couture House of Dior at 21 and even beat Karl Lagerfeld in the International Wool Secretariat competition. In 1983 he became the first living fashion designer to be honored by the Metropolitan Museum of Art with a solo exhibition. YSL was great at creating timeless style and making a woman feel like a lady.  He also started mainstreaming the idea of wearing silhouettes from the 1920s, ’30s and ’40s. He was the first, in 1966, to popularize ready-to-wear in an attempt to democratize fashion, with Rive Gauche and the boutique of the same name.  He was also the first designer to use black models in his catwalk shows….Kudos to YSL, This daily shrine goes to YSL the brand and the Man!
