Yves Saint Laurent to become Saint Laurent

There's a new creative director in town and he's making some HUGE changes.

The new creative director, Hedi Slimane, has decided to drop the Yves in Yves Saint Laurent.

The change is a return to the brand circa 1960's when the legendary fashion house went by Saint Laurent Rive Gauche.

The name change will make its' debut when Slimane's Spring 2013 collection hits stores.
