Yves Saint Laurent first started designing for Christian Dior in 1958. At his first fashion show he blew everyone away with his new take on woman's clothing. He wanted women to feel not only beautiful but powerful and strong. This past weekend Yves Saint Laurent was given what all designers hope to achieve after they've past: an exhibit of their greatest works from their life. At San Francisco's DeYoung Museum YSL's greatest creations were put on display as a tribute to his genius. It included creations from his Dior days to his own line. Some of the pieces shown were the famous Dior trapeze dress, tuxedos, safari jackets and jumpsuits. He was considered a "bridge between the golden age of haute couture and the new modernity". He changed the face of couture and fashion forever.
