Yves Saint Laurent

Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara

Discover the inspiring story of Yves Saint Laurent, the ground-breaking designer who changed fashion forever.

Growing up in the Algerian city of Oran, little Yves loved exploring his mother's wardrobe and designing dresses for paper dolls. But life outside his family wasn't always happy - at school, he was teased for having different hobbies and sometimes, he even pretended to be ill to avoid lessons. Still, Yves didn't let the mean voices hold him back. He continued to carve his creative path and spent hours sewing tiny outfits from scraps of fabric, dreaming of a future in fashion.

At eighteen, his hard work paid off when he was invited to join a top fashion school in Paris, and after even more hard work, Yves was invited to join the famous fashion house Dior, where he became their lead designer! Later, with the support of his lifelong partner Pierre, Yves started his own fashion house. His bold and stylish designs - like tuxedo suits and pea coats - revolutionised women's clothing and continue to influence fashion today.

Yves's story shows the power of staying true to your dreams - even when it's challenging. Inspiring and beautifully told, Little People, BIG DREAMS: Yves Saint Laurent teaches children about courage, creativity, and self-expression.

From the bestselling series Little People, BIG DREAMS, this book features quirky illustrations, extra facts, a timeline of Yves's life with historical photos and a detailed profile of his inspiring journey. It's the perfect gift for young creatives and fashion-lovers.
