ysl is a french designer.he was born Yves Henri-Donat Matthieu-Saint Laurent on August 1, 1936, in Oran[->0], Algeria.At the age of 18, Saint Laurent moved to Paris and enrolled at the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture, where his designs quickly gained notice.He is also credited with having introduced the tuxedo[->1] suit for women and was known for his use of non-European cultural references, and non-White models.
Created in 1966 by famous couturier Yves Saint Laurent[->2],[1] the Le Smoking tuxedo[->3] suit for women was the first of its kind to earn attention in the fashion world and in popular culture. It pioneered long, minimalist, androgynous styles for women, as well as the use of power suits[->4] and the pantsuit[->5] in modern-day society. Fashion photography[->6] echoes the influence of this suit in shoots that feature androgynous[->7] models with slicked-back hair in a mannish three-piece suit, a style that was first popularised in photographs by Helmut Newton[->8].[1][2] Yves Saint-Laurent was seen by many as having empowered women by giving them the option wear clothes that were normally worn by men with influence and power.[2][But one day in 1966, the Algerian-born designer Yves Saint Laurent[->9] dropped le bomb with le smoking, a tuxedo suit of velvet or wool—black-tie menswear reinterpreted for the female form.
We’re talking about Le Smoking, the first tuxedo for women. It consisted of a classic dinner jacket in black grain de poudre wool or satin and trousers with a satin side-stripe with a ruffled white shirt, black bow tie and a wide cummerbund of satin.
Le Smoking became such an icon that the brand ensured that some manifestation of it was included in every subsequent fashion collection, continuing up to present day with the YSL’s current head designer, Stefano Pilati. Over the years, the tuxedo suit has reappeared in a huge variety of guises and fabrics: reworked as a dress or trench coat, given a bolero in place of a jacket and shorts instead of trousers, incarnated in velvet, silk or leather

Famed fashion designer Coco Chanel was born Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel on August 19, 1883, in Saumur, France.Gabrielle "Coco" Bonheur Chanel (August 19, 1883 – January 10, 1971)[1] was a French[->10] fashion designer and founder of the Chanel[->11] brand.and the influential Chanel suit, an elegant suit comprising a knee-length skirt and trim, boxy jacket, traditionally made of woven wool with black trim and gold buttons and worn with large costume-pearl necklaces.After the First World War, the House of Chanel, following the fashion trends of the 1920s, produced beaded dresses, made especially popular by the Flapper[->12] woman.[2] Moreover, by 1920, Chanel had designed and presented a woman’s suit of clothes — composed either of two garments or of three garments — which allowed a woman to have a modern, feminine appearance, whilst being comfortable and practical to maintain; advocated as the “new uniform for afternoon and evening”, it became known as the Chanel Suit. her initial triumph was the innovative use of jersey fabric, a machine knit material manufactured for her by the firm Rodier,[103] and traditionally relegated to the manufacture of undergarments. Her wool jersey traveling suit consisted of a cardigan jacket, and pleated skirt, paired with a low-belted pullover top. This ensemble, worn with low-heeled shoes, became the casual look in expensive women's wear.[104]

Christian Dior (French[->13] pronunciation: [kʁistjɑ̃ djɔːʁ][->14]) (21 January 1905 – 23 October 1957) was a French[->15] fashion designer, best known as the founder of one of the world's top fashion houses, also called Christian Dior[->16].Christian Dior's reputation as one of the most important couturiers of the twentieth century was launched in 1947 with his very first collection, in which he introduced the "New Look." Featuring rounded shoulders, a cinched waist, and very full skirt, the New Look celebrated ultra-femininity and opulence in women's fashion. After years of military and civilian uniforms, sartorial restrictions and shortages, Dior offered not merely a new look but a new outlook.
Spring 1947 was "Carolle" or "figure 8," a name that suggested the silhouette of the new look with its prominent shoulders, accentuated hips, and small waist. The spring 1953 collection, dubbed "Tulip," featured an abundance of floaty, flowery prints. Spring 1955's "A-line," with its undefined waist and smooth silhouette that widened over the hips and legs, resembled a capital "A." Some of Dior's designs simulated Second Empire and other historical styles, but he was also creating menswear, trompe-l'oeil detailing, and soft-to-hard juxtapositions, making them part of the modern wardrobe. By his final collections, Dior, feeling the need for a more limber silhouette[->17] and lifestyle, was designing chemises, narrow tunics, and sari-like wraps.

Christian Marie Marc Lacroix (French[->18] pronunciation: [kʁistjɑ̃ lakʁwa][->19]; born 16 May 1951) is a French fashion designer.
Lacroix attended the University of Montpellier, presumably studying Art History. He continued his studies at the world-renowned Sorbonne in Paris, where he completed a dissertation on 18th-century French art. The budding art historian also pursued a degree in museum studies at France’s Louvre Museum. Lacroix’s young maturation was unusual for its intellectuality and emphasis on art history.Lacroix also had an interest in costume design, and designed costumes for a number of ballets, stage productions, and operas beginning in 1985. Christian Lacroix made fashion history with his July 1987 debut couture collection backed by LVMH. His was the first Paris haute couture house to open since Courreges in 1965. Lacroix took the bustles, bows, corsets and crinolines painted by 18th century artists Boucher, Fragonard and Nattier and mixed them up with ruffles, feathers and fringes of Toulouse-Lautrec's can-can dancers and the gypsies in his hometown Trinquetoulle, Provence. Lacroix's puffball skirt - a taffeta or satin balloon of fabric that gathered a crinoline at the hem - reinvented the ball gown for the late 20th century. "Personally I've always hovered between the purity of structures and the ecstasy of ornament," says the designer who brought Rococo back to couture
Christian Lacroix ready-to-wear followed the couture in 1998 and diffusion line Bazar arrived in 1994. Lacroix's sensibility translates superbly to theatre, opera and ballet. He designed landmark productions of 'Les Enfants du Paradis', 'La Gaiete Parisienne' and 'Sheherazade' as well as the jewelled corsets worn by Madonna for her 2004 Reinvention Tour.
In 2002, Lacroix was appointed creative director of Florentine print house Pucci, and in 2005 a new chapter began for the designer when his fashion house was sold by LVMH[->20] to an American company, the Falic Group.
1987 he opened his own couture house.[2] He began putting out ready-to-wear[->21] in 1988 drawing inspiration from diverse cultures. Critics commented that he did not seem to understand the type of clothing the working woman needed. In 1989, Lacroix launched jewelry, handbags, shoes, glasses, scarves and ties (along with ready-to-wear). In this same year, he opened boutiques within Paris, Arles, Aix-en-Provence[->22], Toulouse[->23], London, Geneva[->24] and Japan.
With his background in historical costume and clothing, Lacroix soon made headlines with his opulent, fantasy creations, including the short puffball skirt ("le pouf"), rose prints, and low décolleté necklines. He quoted widely from other styles—from fashion history (the corset and the crinoline), from folklore, and from many parts of the world—and he mixed his quotations in a topsy-turvy manner. He favored the hot colors of the Mediterranean[->25] region, a hodgepodge of patterns, and experimental fabrics, sometimes handwoven in local workshops
He is known for his theatrical style which came from his work while in the theatre. This usually shows up with his use of colour in the collections he designs. Along with this, he is also known for his 'le pouf' dress (featuring the ball skirt)

Marant combines sophistication with an bohemian flair. She is known for her loose fabrics on her more urban clothes that abandon the form fitting trend, including clothing like casual dresses, slouchy trousers and loose-fitting knits. But she is also known for her more “glitzy” style that accompanies higher end designs.When Isabel Marant was fifteen she started making her first clothing. After finishing studies at Studio Bercot in 1987, Marant worked with Michel Klein and together with Bridget Yorke she designed collections for label Yorke and Cole. In 1989 she created patterns for Claude Montana and Michael Perry. Isabel Marant also started her first jewelry line in order to finance larger goals she had. With enough money in her pocket, in 1990 Marant started a small knitwear company called Twen. Twen would later go on to be the Isabel Marant line that we know today. She currently has stores all across Europe and America and her quirky design style has always brought her attention.Isabel Marant, née le 12 avril 1967 à Boulogne-Billancourt
