Yves Saint Laurent Rebrands To An Easier-To-Pronounce Name: Saint Laurent Paris

ysl 2012 06 22

Yves Saint Laurent was a designer known for his elegant style, his breathtaking designs and ... his difficult-to-pronounce name.

Well, that last part is changing.

Yves Saint Laurent will rebrand itself as Saint Laurent Paris as it launches its new Spring 2013 collection -- the first one designed by the company's new Creative Director Hedi Slimane. 

We're not really feeling it. The iconic "YSL" logo is one of our favorite piece of designer history.

"SLP" just doesn't have the same ring to it.



DiD yOu KnOw? ... The life of Yves Saint Laurent was a fascinating one -- he was in the French army for 20 days before the stress sent him to the hospital, and then he went on to be the brilliant designer we adored. Read all about it, here.
