Yves Saint Laurent Passes Away

We are a little late with this one, but you might already know that Yves Saint Laurent passed on June 1 in his Paris home as a result of a brain tumor. He was a fashion designer who created a brand that represented elegence and that celebrated the female form. He will be missed, but his legacy will love on!

A quote of his:

“I hate bourgeois women. I hate their spirit, their intransigence, their taste, too. They dress in such a boring way.

“My woman is a real woman. She is not an Amazon, not a Barbarella, not a cosmonaut. It’s a woman often in black, because I love black. I think that a white page is very boring. Without black, there is no line. “

He was ahead of his time.


Here is a piece on Yves Saint Laurent.
