From January 17th to February 3rd, 2025, the house of Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) invites individuals aged 18 and older from across the globe to participate in YSL Schaffenszeit – a unique opportunity to showcase their individual interpretations of self, design, and beauty. This initiative, translating roughly from German to "YSL creative time," is not merely a contest, but a powerful platform for self-expression, celebrating originality, confidence, and genuine connection with the YSL brand ethos. It’s a call to action for a global community to embrace their individuality and contribute to a vibrant tapestry of creative expression.
YSL Schaffenszeit is structured around three core pillars, each reflecting a different facet of the YSL identity: YSL Myself, YSL Designer, and YSL Blush. Each category provides a unique avenue for participants to engage with the brand and share their vision. The submissions will be judged on originality, demonstrating a unique and innovative approach; confidence, showcasing a bold and self-assured presentation; and genuine connection, reflecting a sincere and authentic engagement with the YSL brand values. The overarching theme encourages participants to explore their personal narratives and translate them into creative expressions within the defined categories.
YSL Myself: A Portrait of Individuality
The YSL Myself category invites participants to delve into the depths of their personal identity and express it through a variety of mediums. This is not merely about presenting a polished image, but about revealing the layers of complexity that make each individual unique. Participants can choose from a range of creative expressions, including:
* Visual Storytelling: This could involve photography, videography, or digital art, creating a visual narrative that encapsulates the participant's personality, experiences, and aspirations. A short film exploring the journey of self-discovery, a series of photographs capturing moments of personal significance, or a digital artwork reflecting inner emotions – all are valid forms of expression within this category. The key here is to convey a sense of authenticity and emotional depth.
* Written Expression: For those who prefer the written word, this category offers the opportunity to share their personal story through essays, poems, or even short stories. This could be a reflection on personal growth, a poignant account of a life-changing experience, or a powerful statement about self-acceptance and individuality. The written piece should resonate with the YSL brand’s commitment to empowerment and self-belief.
* Musical Composition: Musically inclined participants can create original compositions – songs, instrumental pieces, or even sound installations – that express their unique perspective. This could range from a heartfelt ballad to an electrifying rock anthem, as long as it reflects the participant's individual style and resonates with the YSL brand's spirit of boldness and innovation.
The YSL Myself category is open to interpretation, encouraging participants to think outside the box and find innovative ways to express their individuality. The judging criteria will focus on the authenticity of the expression, the creative execution, and the overall impact of the submission in conveying a compelling personal narrative.
YSL Designer: Reimagining Iconic Style
The YSL Designer category challenges participants to engage with the legacy of Yves Saint Laurent and reimagine his iconic designs for a contemporary audience. This category requires a deeper understanding of the YSL brand's history and its enduring influence on fashion. Participants are encouraged to explore the archives, study the iconic silhouettes, and draw inspiration from the designer’s innovative spirit.
