Saint Laurent spent his first year at the House of Dior on mundane tasks, such as decorating the studio and designing accessories.

Yves Saint Laurent was allowed to submit sketches for the couture collection; with every passing season, more of his sketches were accepted by Dior. In August 1957, Dior met with Saint Laurent’s mother to tell her that he had chosen Saint Laurent to succeed him as a designer.

Yves Saint Laurent started fashion house Yves Saint Laurent YSL with funds from American millionaire J. Mack Robinson.

During the 1960s and 1970s, Saint Laurent was considered one of Paris’s ‘jet set’. He was often seen at clubs in France and New York City, such as Regine’s and Studio 54, and was known to be both a heavy drinker and a frequent user of cocaine.
