I love clothing and fashion and one icon that everyone seems to know, but not as many can afford, is Yves Saint Laurent.
I have that brand! My mom has passed down some clothing from that brand, because it was founded way back in 1961. She still gives me some perfume from them, because they have a notable presence in the luxury beauty fragrance market, too.
Oh neat!  I bought a blouse from eBay before and loved it.  I wore it to death! How many categories of items do they make?

I have never smelled the perfume before.  Do they have multiple scents or just one signature?
You probably know their perfume maybe under a different name, because their perfume line is owned by L'Oreal, which holds exclusives licenses for the name.

One of their most famous is the classic tuxedo suit for women in 1966, which I mentioned. It's called Le Smoking suit, haha.
I had no idea they made tuxedo suits for women that long.  They were really groundbreaking in everything and its all coming back around again today.

Even though the grunge movement died down in 1994 after the death of Kurt Cobain, designers have continued to draw inspiration from the movement from time to time. Grunge appeared as a trend again in 2008 and for Fall/Winter 2013, Hedi Slimane at Yves Saint Laurent brought back grunge to the runway.
