Top Fashion – Musée Yves Saint Laurent, Paris

Designer Yves Saint Laurent was a huge “feminist” activist and inspired women to dress in a more masculine way during the 1960s. Creator of the Androgynous look, he empowered women to be strong and fierce in their everyday fashion. For anyone that knew of the designs by YSL, he was world-renowned for his iconic Tuxedo suits, Safari Jacket, Mondrian Dress, Haute Peasant/Ethnic Look, and See-Through Blouses.

“Over the years I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it. “ – YSL
