Yves Saint Laurent Remembered Fashion is a kind of beauty, let us hope that AFTER a long period of ill health, legendary couturier Yves Saint Laurent died at his Paris home last night, aged 71. The cause of his death has not been revealed. It was Saint Laurent's long-time confidante and business partner, Pierre Berge, who?announced the news to the world media. "Gabrielle Chanel gave women freedom. Yves Saint Laurent gave them power,moncler down jacket,discount arcteryx ski jackets Richie Sues_658," he said on France Info radio. "Like all creators, Yves Saint Laurent had two faces - a public face and private face." The designer retired from fashion officially in 2002,cheap northface mens shoes, but his stellar career - which saw him take over haute couture at Christian Dior aged only 21, and give the world some its most iconic looks,moncler boots, such as feted Sixties tuxedo Le Smoking - was shadowed with long-term?depression and drug and alcohol problems. He had become increasingly reclusive in his later years.

My mother adored his work and introduced me to it when I was 16. I feel in love with fashion because of Yves Saint Laurent. He was the first international superstar in the modern era." Lacroix, too, paid homage to Saint Laurent's legacy. "Chanel, Schiaparelli, Balenciaga and Dior all did extraordinary things. But they worked within a particular style," he said. "Yves Saint Laurent is like a combination of all of them. He's got the form of Chanel and the opulence of Dior and the wit of Schiaparelli." Yves Saint Laurent is now spearheaded creatively by Stefano Pilati, who is credited with designing its collections with respect for its founder's aesthetic. Naomi Campbell will be the face of its autumn/winter 2008-9 campaign. |
