From the synopsis: 'Growing up in the Algerian city of Oran, little Yves loved exploring his mother's closet and designing clothes for dress-up dolls. But life outside of his family wasn't always happy – at school, he was teased for his various hobbies and sometimes even pretended to be sick to avoid class.
But Yves didn't let the mean voices stop him. He continued his creative path, spending hours sewing tiny outfits from scraps of fabric, dreaming of a future in the fashion industry.
At 18, his hard work paid off when he was invited to a prestigious fashion school in Paris. After even more hard work, Yves was invited to the famous fashion house Dior, where he became head designer! Later, with the support of his life partner, Pierre, Yves founded his own fashion house. His bold and stylish designs—such as tuxedos and pea coats—revolutionized women's fashion and continue to influence fashion today.
Yves' story shows the importance of staying true to your dreams—even when it's difficult.'
