Learn about incredible story of Yves Saint Laurent! The trailblazing trendsetter who changed fashion forever.
Growing up in the Algerian city of Oran, little Yves loved searching through his mother's wardrobe and designing dresses for paper dolls. Sadly, his life outside the Saint Laurent family wasn't so happy. At school he was bullied for having different hobbies and interests to his classmates, and sometimes even pretended to be ill to avoid lessons. But Yves, didn't let the mean voices hold him back. He adored sewing and spent hours developing his skills, making tiny outfits from scrap fabric. His hard work paid off, and by eighteen he was studying at the top fashion school in Paris. Soon after, he was asked to join the famous fashion house Dior, and later became their top couturier!
But things took a turn when he was forced to join the army and ended up in hospital. To make matters worse, he discovered that had lost his job . . . Fortunately, with the love and support of his partner, Pierre, Yves slow got better. Before long, he was ready for a new adventure and decided to start his own fashion house! Yves soon became known for his chic and fashionable designs. From tuxedo suits to pea coats, his styles revolutionized women's clothing and still influence fashion today. From the bestselling series Little People, BIG DREAMS, this title is the perfect gift for little creatives and fashionistas.
