One of the greats.... people don't realize what brilliant artists many fashion designers are. YSL had a tough life, struggling with his demons, depression, and paranoia. He died much too young, a very sad day.

Whenever I hear the name Yves Saint Laurent it reminds me of the Aerosmith song, Combination. "Walking on gucci, wearin' yves saint laurent"....R.I.P. YSL.

Almost year ago I was invited to a special event at the original YSL maison de couture which meant a great deal to me. That afternoon was two days after seeing "The Boys" at Stade de France. As it turned out,in that elegant building in Avenue Marceau there were a number of elegant people of diverse ages and for the first half hour before we went upstairs it was non-stop talk about the Rolling Stones. "Weren't they wonderful!!...fantastique!...the best" etc. etc.
Upstairs,YSL was playing Ella Fitzgerald singing "I Love Paris." A perfect apres-midi.
Remembering that gorgeous trouser suit worn by Bianca on her wedding day to Mick which I believe was designed by YSL. The most stylish wedding outfit ever.
