An icon to forever be remembered and cherished among the highest names of couture, we say farewell to the master in his passing late Sunday evening in Paris.
Yves Henri Donat Mathieu Saint Laurent; a child determined by desire and admiration and who became a legend in the fashion world admired and respected by all. With Christian Dior as his mentor, his designs rose to the highest levels truly representing the couture name and heart.
He forever set the trends for women of fashion everywhere, and was ready in a time when women were just receiving such freedoms. And unlike any other designer of his time, Yves Saint Laurent's designs held versatility and range. Never limiting himself to one key note style- he was constantly moving forward with brilliant ideas.
His retirement in 2002 to the couture world held quite the farewell, and now we say goodbye with much love and remembrance.
"To be beautiful, all a woman needs is a black pullover and a black skirt and to be arm in arm with a man she loves."
-Yves Saint Laurent
