    Just wanted to bring your attention to this.. for the ones that don't know.. time to pay homage to one of the fashion greats.. YVES SAINT LAURENT. He passed away on Sunday aged 71 from a brain tumour. 1936 - 2008


    He was one of the first and super famous for it to put women in pants and tuxedos...THE SMOKING jacket...he was extremely influential couturier and  created an iconic strong confident woman through his work.


    Sad to lose one of the fashion couture greats. He has been with us since the 50's, started his own couture house in his name in 1962..prior he worked as the successor of Christian Dior.

    Much of his work has ended up today influencing many designers - safari jackets, tuxedo dressing, .he was one of the first to look at  youth and street culture and in turn translates thru to everyone  and the masses.. He believed in evolution not revolution.. in fashion.. the classics.
    A true genius.

    I hadn't even heard about his passing. Definitely a huge fashion icon loss.

    One of the last French greats.  A big loss to the fashion industry indeed.

    YSL was probably one of the first designers I knew about.

    He achieved so much by the time he was in his early 20's amazing to think how forward thinking and progressive his designs were we take them for granted now.
    When i think of YSL there is the connection to the perfume Paris which was the first one i ever brought and wore.

    And don't forget his Russian collection.  That was the beginning of boho chic, which is back for the upmteenth time again this summer.  He was the one who, in the early 70s, also got us out of patchouli and into Opium, that oh so glamorous scent that launched all the rest.
