The article entitled "Yves Saint Laurent- Portrait of an Icon" gives some additional information about the life of Yves Saint Laurent. This man was extremely gifted as an artist, taking over famous designer Christian Dior's business when he died. Even from the creation of his first collection, Laurent began to rise into fame. Some of the styles he is most famous for come from the creation of women's fashion from men's fashion. He made suits and other such male-typical items popular for women. Laurent was extremely tuned in to detail and studied the works of artists such as Picasso for inspiration. Some of his designs definitely resembled his influences. Among some of Laurent's life accomplishments include an unheard of exibit for his work alone at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the title of command of the Legion d'Honneur, and the creation of the Pierre Berge- Yves Saint Laurent Foundation. He died in 2008.
