You know that times are changing when more and more of the World's Fashion greats like Isabella Blow, Shu Uemura and of course, more recently , Mr YSL, himself, pass on.
Christian Dior, Coco Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent .... these are titanic names synonymous with everything high fashion and culturally pivotal.
People who know very little about fashion or who are more into trends (or are simply frumps), will be thinking what is all the big deal about a 'certain Yves Saint Laurent' , passing.
Two Words : 'Haute Couture'
He was known to be a creative genius bar none and also helped launched the careers of some of the biggest black supermodels in the business such as the late Katoucha (who also recently died in a tragic unsolved murder case), Naomi Campbell , whom gave her her first Italian Vogue cover and Tyra Banks, whom was given one of her first big breaks during her early days in Europe.
Well, if you've got the French President Mr. Nicolas Sarkozy and his ex-supermodel wife Carla Bruni, personally attending his wake, you should at least know for sure, that YSL was someone ... BIG.
Very Big. Very Influential.
He will be missed.
Q
... THE passing of yet another Legend.
