If you haven't yet read The Beautiful Fall by Alicia Drake, please do so. It taught me so much about the early lives and careers of two of the greatest fashion designers of our time: Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld. I even discovered their most private habits and how their inner circle worked. Though sadly we had to say goodbye to Yves this year, Karl is still chugging away. How well do you know these two rivals and legends? Take my quiz and find out.

10/11. I'm practically an YSL scholar:-)
1Two masters.
2Ridiculously hard, but good quiz, Fab!
36/11 - I totally guessed, since I don't know much about either - the only one I knew was that Yves was named Christian Dior's successor at age 21. I definitely prefer Yves, Karl is kind of a freak...
45/11.
59/11 I didn't realize Karl was rich from the start, and thought the 3 question was a trick question but should have known
6I read The Beautiful Fall and will most likely read it again. SUCH GREAT STUFF. Also, helped me get 8/11.
77/11...I didn't know Yves had died...then again, I hadn't been paying fashion much mind until rather recently...
