Yves Saint Laurent first made a massive impression on the fashion world in 1958 when he became the successor to Christian Dior and enjoyed instant success with his Trapeze collection, before beginning his own label in 1962.
Yves Saint Laurent's long and fruitful career came to an end in 2002 and was most recognized for turning women's fashion around, making pants the core of women's fashion along with pea coats, safari jackets (not to forget “le smoking," a French term for a man’s tuxedo jacket), leopard prints, and trench coats, to mention a few fashions which transcended the world of style. The names to adorn the 'YSL' initials roll off your tongue with the likes of Catherine Deneuve, Bianca Jagger, Helmut NewtonMarie-Hélène de Rothschild amongst them. May the legend of Yves Saint Laurent live on.
Read much more over at the NY Times website, and I am sure many others will be paying tribute to this legend of style and fashion today.
