Footnote:

Handpicked by Yves Saint Laurent himself, Alber Elbaz designed the ready-to-wear and haute couture collection from 1998 to 2000. During this capsule period at Yves Saint Laurent, Elbaz continued the legacy of Saint Laurent himself; meanwhile, Elbaz blended and carefully noticed the emergence of change during the late 90s to early 2000s. Bringing a more curated yet practical look to the brands. He once told Vogue, "French style is about femininity, simplicity, and individuality, and I think women today are really looking to embrace those qualities."
