During the early 20^th century, French artist Marcel Duchamp created a series of “readymades” in which he selected everyday, mass-produced objects and declared them to be art. Duchamp described his idea of a readymade as a “work of art without an artist to make it.” The works, sometimes accompanied by an inscription by the artist, required no real manual skill or technique in terms of their construction. Despite this fact, Duchamp’s readymades have made a tremendous impact upon modern and contemporary art as they are considered to be “demonstrations of the importance of choice by an artist.”

Throughout the 1960s and forward, fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent revolutionized the fashion world by challenging its conventions and limitations. In all of his work, Saint Laurent aspired to design the wardrobe of the modern woman. In doing so, the designer created stylized variations of traditional work clothes, “propelling them into the sphere of hate couture and ready-to-wear.” This idea and goal of creating the wardrobe of the modern woman had always been at the heart of Saint Laurent’s work.

This driving motivation began when the designer noticed that a traditional men’s wardrobe consisted of basic shapes and pieces that could be worn to “project his own personality and his own dignity.” Seeing that this was the case for men, he noted: “I’ve always wanted to give women the protection of that sort of basic wardrobe – protection from ridicule, freedom to be themselves. It pains me physically to see a woman victimized, rendered pathetic, by fashion.”

Over the course of his career, Yves Saint Laurent innovated the luxury fashion system with the goal of making luxurious, glamorous clothing increasingly accessible to women of all walks of life. In addition, by designing women’s garments typically associated with the male wardrobe such as the tuxedo, suit, and safari jacket, the designer liberated the modern woman’s wardrobe.
