This is my favorite picture of Yves Saint Laurent

It is hard to tackle these large topics, such as the passing of Yves Saint Laurent, a tremendous design talent and shaper of the fashion industry. Did you know that his Rive Gauche collection in the 60s signaled the beginning of Ready-to-Wear? Did you know that he stared working for Christian Dior at the young age of 18? And became head designer of the house at age 21 when Dior died? There is a beautiful tribute to Yves Saint Laurent in WWD (Tuesday, June 3) which I would urge you to read.
