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?
I like the ready-to-wear items. You can buy them right off the rack because they fit almost everyone, they're more casual, and they're more affordable.
I've been looking for new type of style. I'm into punk style but I'm not sure if this has a punk look to it.
Punk fashion
Punk fashion is the clothing, hairstyles, cosmetics, jewellery, and body modifications of the punk subculture. Punk fashion varies widely, ranging from Vivienne Westwood designs to styles modeled on bands like The Exploited to the dressed-down look of North American hardcore. The distinct social dress of other subcultures and art movements, including glam rock, skinheads, rude boys, greasers, and mods have influenced punk fashion. Punk fashion has likewise influenced the styles of these groups, as well as those of popular culture.
