Countless designers, from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.louisvuitton.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Louis Vuitton<\/strong><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chanel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Coco Chanel<\/strong><\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dior.com\/home\/en_int\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Christian Dior<\/strong><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jeanpaulgaultier.com\/en-us\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Jean-Paul Gaultier<\/strong><\/a>, have reinvented fashion while finding inspiration in the culture and people of Âé¶¹APP. Among them, of course, was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ysl.com\/wx\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Yves Saint Laurent<\/strong><\/a>. Perhaps the most celebrated figure of his day in the world of French fashion, Yves Saint Laurent lived a fascinating and often unexpected life. Here are my <strong>top 5 fun facts about Yves Saint Laurent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>1.) A surprising childhood<\/h3>\n<p>Although his name is synonymous with French fashion, Yves Saint Laurent was not actually born or raised in France. <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ysl-as-a-child.jpg\" alt=\"Top 5 Fun Facts About Yves Saint Laurent - YSL-as-a-child\" width=\"250\" height=\"342\" style=\"float:right; margin-left:10px;\" \/>The first of my <b>top 5 fun facts about Yves Saint Laurent<\/b> is that he spent his childhood in Algiers, the capital of Algeria, which was then a French colony. He was born in Algeria on August 1st, 1936, with the name Yves Henri Donat Mathieu-Saint-Laurent, which he shortened after becoming famous. <\/p>\n<p>Yves Saint Laurent was interested in fashion from a very early age &#8211; as a child, he even designed dresses for his mother and sisters. As a schoolboy in Algeria, however, his sophisticated tastes distinguished him from his classmates. Sadly, he was often bullied at school. This experience remained with him and perhaps even motivated him to succeed in his career in France. He moved to Âé¶¹APP at the age of 17.<\/p>\n<h3>2.) A rising star<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/rising-star.jpg\" alt=\"Top 5 Fun Facts About Yves Saint Laurent - rising star\" width=\"650\" height=\"455\" \/><\/p>\n<p>His own brand is so well-known and successful that it\u2019s hard to imagine Yves Saint Laurent before his fame. He had his first foray into the fashion after winning a drawing contest. At the reception, he met the editor of French Vogue, who noticed that Yves Saint Laurent\u2019s drawings resembled some which the master designer Christian Dior had drawn and shown Vogue that very morning. The editor introduced Yves to Dior, who hired him on the spot. Yves quickly rose through the ranks at the fashion house. At 19, he became Dior\u2019s second in command. Following Dior\u2019s sudden death in 1957, the 21-year-old Yves found himself as the creative director of Dior &#8211; his designs in 1958 are said to have saved the brand from financial ruin.<\/p>\n<h3>3.) Success interrupted<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/success-interrupted.jpg\" alt=\"Top 5 Fun Facts About Yves Saint Laurent - success-interrupted\" width=\"650\" height=\"332\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Until 1960, Dior\u2019s owner (and Yves\u2019s boss) had been placing pressure on the French Army to spare Yves from conscription &#8211; but after a slow season in 1960, he relinquished so that he could replace the designer. Yves was then drafted to serve in the French Army in his childhood home of Algeria. The fashion designer was not so well-suited for military life; he lasted through 20 days of hazing and training in the Army before suffering a nervous breakdown and being transferred to a military hospital. There, he was subjected to various traumatic treatments from sedative and psychoactive drugs to electroshock therapy. Yves was released from the hospital only to discover that he had been fired from Dior. Though maybe not really a fun fact about Yves Saint Laurent, the brief period affected the designer profoundly.<\/p>\n<h3>4.) Back and better than ever<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/back-better.jpg\" alt=\"Top 5 Fun Facts About Yves Saint Laurent - back better\" width=\"650\" height=\"408\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Having split with Dior (and sued his boss for violating his contract), Yves and his romantic partner Pierre Berg\u00e9 founded a fashion house of their own: Yves Saint Laurent YSL. It was with his own brand that Yves\u2019s style reached the height of its influence. His designs often blurred the formerly-rigid distinctions between genders &#8211; perhaps the most famous example of this was Le Smoking, a low-cut tuxedo-like ensemble for women. Another early highlight of this period was his line of dresses inspired by the geometry of works by the painter Mondrian, which added bold splashes of color to the French fashion palate. Saint Laurent also started the first ready-to-wear clothing line of any high-fashion designer, helping to make his art more widely available.<\/p>\n<h3>5.) An exceptional legacy<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ysl-legacy.jpg\" alt=\"Top 5 Fun Facts About Yves Saint Laurent - YSL-legacy\" width=\"650\" height=\"413\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Sadly, Yves Saint Laurent died of brain cancer in 2008 at the age of 71. In 2009, his partner Pierre Berg\u00e9 auctioned off over his art collection of over 700 items to raise money for AIDS research, saying that the art was meaningless to him without Yves &#8211; the auction earned almost 350 million euro! In 2014, the designer was the subject of not one but two dramatic biographical films (Yves Saint Laurent and Saint Laurent), both of which are filled with plenty more fun facts about Yves Saint Laurent. He and his brand remain dear to the people of Âé¶¹APP and to the entire world of fashion. <\/p>\n<p>When in Âé¶¹APP, be sure to check out the Fondation Pierre Berg\u00e9 &#8211; Yves Saint Laurent (5 Avenue Marceau), a museum located in the designer\u2019s studio and dedicated to his work and influence (but beware that it is closed for renovation and scheduled to reopen 3 October 2017).<\/p>\n<div id=\"disco-294909477\" class=\"disco-amazon-box-2024 disco-entity-placement\"><div style=\"width: 100%; border: 2px solid lightgray; padding: 3% 6% 3% 3%; border-radius: 5px;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Planning a trip to Âé¶¹APP ?
