Let's fight against boredom..!

Came across these two graphics in one of my mum's YSL training books... think we can learn a lot from good ole Monsieur St. Laurent, after all he is one of the greatest fashion designers of all time n'est pas?

7 rules to live your life by according to Yves St. Laurent:

1. Change your way of life before changing your clothes...

2. Fashion is a state of mind - not clothes...

3. Dressing is a renewal; a way of life; a start afresh; a fight against boredom...

4. Dare!

5. Smash all the doors - all the barriers!

6. Blow up traditions and conformities!

7. Live the most glamourous life...

He pushed the boundaries of women's fashion and hated following rules (just think of the bold bright and occasionally clashing colours that continually feature within his make-up ranges season after season). Thanks to him, the tuxedo suit for women, as well as ready-to-wear pieces, were introduced and made popular. He knew that to get ahead in life you had to be innovative, determined, true to yourself and courageous which is something that we all can apply within our day to day - especially when looking to get noticed by potential employers!!!
