Saint Laurent had lived in seclusion in the past few years and had been in poor health.

One of a handful of designers who dominated 20th century fashion – on a par with Christian Dior, Coco Chanel and Paul Poiret – Yves Henri Donat Mathieu Saint Laurent was born in the coastal town of Oran, Algeria, on August 1, 1936, at a time when the North African country was still considered part of France.

He retired in 2002 and was rarely seen in public.
