Nevertheless, the haute couture designs of the runway made their way to the boulevards, giving full sway to the "retro" trend that quickly conquered the streets. Saint Laurent was one of France's most prominent fashion designers. From his work at Dior to the time of his founding his eponymous YSL fashion label in 1962 to his death in 2008, his work was a force in an industry full of big names and successful houses. He developed his style to accommodate the changes in fashion during that period. He approached his aesthetic from a different perspective by helping women find confidence by looking both comfortable and elegant at the same time. "His inspiration was drawn from World War II and the Occupation, he showed couture looks that included square shoulders, knee-length skirts, platform heels and simple patterned dresses . . . What Saint Laurent was doing, of course, was blurring the line between couture and ready-to-wear." -- New York Times
