“My classmates could see I was not similar. So they made me their scapegoat. They…” — Yves Saint Laurent

I tell myself that I created the wardrobe of the contemporary woman, that I participated in the transformation of my times.

When I look at the five thousand garments and then all this music hall work, I ask myself how I could have done it all. I was a phenomenon!

I just tried to be an artist in my own metier.

When I was young in the 1960s, all the world watched the youth. Everywhere was the sensation of wanting to break the chains but to do something beautiful. It is my privilege to have beauty always near me.
