On January 29, 1971, Yves Saint Laurent presented the collection known as "Liberation" or "Quarante", inspired by the fashion of these war-marked years. It’s Paloma Picasso, because she dresses at the flea market, that inspires the designer. Short dresses, wedges heels, square shoulders, intense makeup, these references to the Paris of the Occupation are scandalous. Violently criticized by the press, the collection gives all its breadth to the retro wave which will quickly invade the street.
