Yves Saint Laurent, born in Algeria and later relocating to Paris with aspirations of becoming a fashion designer, joined Christian Dior Couture in 1954. His unexpected appointment as Creative Director in 1957 marked him as the world's youngest couturier after Mr. Dior's passing. Ousted from Dior shortly afterward, Saint Laurent launched his eponymous brand in 1961, embarking on a journey that included introducing costume jewelry in 1962. He believed that accessories, especially jewelry, played a pivotal role in shaping the overall allure of an outfit, a sentiment that reflected his appreciation for combining simple elegance with "crazy accessories" to create unforgettable fashion statements. These YSL gold seashell earrings are from the 1980s.
