Betty, Loulou, Catherine, and Iman: Meet Yves Saint Laurent’s Squad
Back in his heyday, decades before the word became tiresome enough to make you cringe, the French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent practically invented the concept of a squad, aiding both his house and many of his muses in becoming household names. From Loulou de la Falaise, who worked with Saint Laurent for three decades, and his “twin” Betty Catroux to Iman, Marisa Berenson, and Catherine Deneuve, here is a closer look at Yves Saint Laurent’s girls.

Mounia’s sleek slick showed that serving face (and a smile) was the look to envy. We’d like to see this sophisticated look come back. Photo by Getty Images.

Francoise Hardy’s side swept fringe showed that not trimming your bangs could be cool. We’re begging for bangs that don’t hide the eyes, or skirt the hairline. Photo by Getty Images.
