Yves Saint Laurent, Fashion Legend Dies

14:14 H | Topics: Fashion

3laurent550.jpgFrench fashion legend, Yves Saint Laurent, aged 71, passed away last night. I wouldn't normally write about this, except last night, over the phone, my mom, a one time fashion designer, told me with sadness. Apparently, whether we realize it or not, we have Yves Saint Laurent to thank for quite a few things.

From the YSL stable came clothes that we now accept as women's wear classics: the pantsuit, the peacoat, the blazer, the safari jacket and the tuxedo - as well as evening clothes that were as soft and gentle as the tailoring was sharp and linear.
