Black models

This article contains the statement that the YSL fashion house was "...the first to use black models" and cites a magazine article in Reference 5 ("Iman strikes back" ... etc) as the source of this incorrect information. While the model Iman may have thought she was the first black model to work the Paris runways, the historical fact is Elsa Scaparelli first used black women on Paris runways in the 1940's. I cite Shocking, thb Biography of Elsa Scaparelliis as my source. I do not know how, nor have I the time at presentto research how, to make this important correction, but I hope another concerned party will be able to do so.

Saint Laurent Paris → Yves Saint Laurent (brand) – Saint Laurent Paris is the new name for the ready-to-wear line, while the name of the entire fashion house remained the same—Yves Saint Laurent. Proof, for example. aleksandrit (talk) 14:29, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Seperate Yves Saint Laurent from Saint Laurent

I propose separating the history and biography of founder Yves Saint Laurent and his legendary years running this brand from this new incarnation Saint Laurent, of which there is absolutely no significant relationship outside of using a similar name.

What the late great Yves Saint Laurent built is entirely different on a number of significant levels. 33L71488 (talk) 12:01, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - There is an appropriate and sufficent level of YSL biography in the article inassomuch as it directly relates to the history of the brand. You cannot have a history of the brand without acknowledging the role played by the designer in its foundations and early history. You may think that the current version of the brand has little resemblance to its origins, but an encyclopaedic article should and will reflect this evolution.
