Are you familiar with any French fashion houses, like Yves Saint Laurent?
No not at all. Only American really; could you tell me about it?
Well, it was started by - you guessed it! - a man named Yves Saint-Laurent in Franch in 1961. Even today, it's a highly respected fashion brand.
Interesting. Where could I actually see Yves Saint-Laurents work in America?
Oh, it's in lots of higher-end stores in the US. The line isn't just high-fashion; YSL produces fragrances, shoes, ready-to-wear lines, etc.
What type do you like the most?
