YVES SAINT LAURENT - FASHION GODFATHER

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.
