Well, well, well, you wanna know somethin’ ’bout YSL and Saint Laurent? Let me tell ya, it’s all the same darn thing. Like when my old man used to call me by my full name, or just my nickname. Same gal, just different words.
This here YSL, that’s the old name, the full name. Yves Saint Laurent. Sounds fancy, don’t it? Like somethin’ from one of them fancy magazines. Some fella named Yves started it way back when. It’s like a long, long time ago. 1962 or somethin’, I heard. He had a friend, some fella called Pierre, who helped him out. It’s like me and my friend, trying to sell the best eggs in town.
This man, Yves, he did some fancy work for some other big shot before he made his own place. He was good, real good. Then he said, “I’m gonna do my own thing!” And he did! He made pretty clothes, and bags, and all sorts of things. And folks, they loved it! They ate it right up, like my apple pie at the county fair. And the brand became big. Like real, real, big.
Now, this other thing, Saint Laurent. That’s just the short name, the nickname. Like calling me a different name from my full one. That’s all.
Some young whippersnapper, name of Hedi somethin’, he came along in, oh, I don’t know, 2012 or so. He was in charge of makin’ all the new stuff. And he said, “We’re gonna change things up a bit!”
So he just chopped off the “Yves” part. Said it was too long, I reckon. Like shortenin’ my name. And he called it Saint Laurent. He even added “Paris” to the end, just to make it sound even fancier, you know? Like puttin’ a cherry on top of a cake. And he made the clothes look different too. More… I don’t know… sharp lookin’, I guess you could say. It is like a new look, right?
But here’s the thing – it’s still the same folks makin’ the stuff. Same place, same everything. Just a different name on the door. And the clothes still cost a fortune! I could buy a whole new cow for what one of them dresses costs, and the cow would do me more good!
- YSL is the old name, the long name.
- Saint Laurent is the new name, the short name.
- It’s the same thing, just like me and my friend.
- That Hedi fella changed the name and the look.
- But it’s still the same place, still expensive.
So don’t you get all confused by it. YSL, Saint Laurent, it’s all the same fancy stuff. Just like my apple pie, whether I call it “pie” or “my famous apple pie,” it’s still the same darn pie. And it’s still gonna cost ya. Those things are so expensive!
You see them ladies walkin’ around with them YSL bags or them Saint Laurent shoes? They think they’re somethin’ special. And maybe they are. But they paid a pretty penny for it, I can tell ya that much. It is like buying a golden egg, not just a normal egg.
And you know what? That Yves fella, his birthday is today. Imagine how many candles he has on his cake! Probably more than I got on my last one, and that’s sayin’ somethin’.
So, whether you see YSL on a bag or Saint Laurent on a shoe, just remember it’s all from the same place. Like my chickens – they all lay eggs, no matter what I call ’em. But some eggs are just fancier than others, I guess. And cost a whole lot more, too. It’s like comparing normal eggs with golden eggs.
That YSL logo, you know, the letters all twisted together? That’s a fancy thing. You see that, you know it’s gonna be expensive. And Saint Laurent, even if they changed the name, the stuff still looks fancy. It’s still the same, just a little different. Like me wearin’ my Sunday best instead of my everyday apron. Same old me, just dressed up a little.
So, there you have it. YSL vs Saint Laurent, it ain’t that big of a difference. It is like the difference between the name and the nickname. Don’t let it fool ya. It’s just a name change, plain and simple. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go see about my chickens. And maybe bake a pie. But don’t worry, my pie won’t cost ya an arm and a leg, like one of them fancy Saint Laurent dresses.
