Yves Saint Laurent

Yves Saint Laurent became head of design for Dior when he was twenty-one years old; needless to say, opening his own fashion house, which he did in 1961, would not be too far away. While Saint Laurent himself passed away in 2008, the brand is still strong internationally; its elegant Midtown boutique sits on the north side of 57th Street between Fifth and Madison Avenues.
