The legend of haute couture, 70-year-old fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, was recently hospitalized in a clinic in Paris. The designer has breathing problems, but doctors have not yet made an accurate diagnosis.

Pierre Berger, a longtime partner of Saint Laurent, with whom he lived for many recent years, has already told the press that “the designer does not feel well, it is difficult for him to walk, and the doctors cannot yet make a final diagnosis and still carry out the necessary research ". After the professors complete the diagnostics, Berger intends to take Saint Laurent to Morocco for "solar therapy".

"Saint Laurent creates for a woman who leads a double life. His daytime models help her confront a world of strangers."

The famous French fashion designer began his career at the age of 17 in the fashionable Christian Dior. At the age of 19, he took part in a competition for young designers, where he won the first prize at the same time as the young Lagerfeld for the design of an evening dress. The sudden death of Christian Dior in October 1957 promotes the young assistant to the first positions - at the age of 21 Saint Laurent becomes Dior's successor and takes over the leadership of the most famous French House.

He founded his own fashion house in January 1962. The fashion designer's muse, Catherine Deneuve, said: “Saint Laurent creates for a woman who leads a double life. which can end in conflict. But in the evening, when a woman spends time with the one whom she has chosen, Saint Laurent makes her seductive."

In 2002, due to health problems (which in turn stemmed from excessive drug addiction), Yves Saint Laurent handed over the reins of his fashion house to the talented American Tom Ford.
