Au Revoir, Saint Laurent
By Ken Hoyt
I've come to believe that all fashion was designed prior to 1980. Since then it's been a long commercially driven re-hash of the greatest hits...
On June 1st, 2008 Yves Saint Laurent, one of Fashion's greatest designers, slipped from this mortal coil. From the color-blocked Mondrian collection through the androgynous Le Smoking to the luxurious Ballets Russes collection, his runway looks were constantly copied and had a seismic effect on the world of fashion.
Check out this well written bio.
"For a woman, le smoking is an indispensable garment with which she finds herself continually in fashion, because it is about style, not fashion. Fashions come and go, but style is forever."
Yves Saint Laurent, from his notes.
