Loss of a Legend

Today, the usually frivolous chatter of the fashion world was silenced by the announcement that Yves Saint Laurent has died in Paris, aged 71.YSL exploded onto the fashion scene in 1958 as Christian Dior’s successor and dominated both prêt a porter and couture for the latter half of the twentieth century. His influence: immense. YSL changed the way women dressed; creating pant suits and trench coats and of course the iconic “Le smoking” tuxedo jacket. He made high fasion accessible to the masses.Born in 1936 in Algeria, he moved to Paris at the tender age of 17 to embark on a career that would shape modern fashion for generations to come. He arrived in the French capital clutching a handful of portfolio sketches that were immediately printed by French Vogue. An inspiration to so many, he was influenced by the elegance of Catherine Deneuve who later became his muse. Laurent was groundbreaking, and had been at the top of the style pyramid for five decades. His avant-garde designs were complete creative genius.“Fashion fades style is eternal” YSLCheck out:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwuuWiKn5ikhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXxgh9AtSoc■ BexBella
