Sad news for the fashion industry and fashionistas everywhere...

Yves Saint Laurent ( 8/1/36-6/1/08 )

Yves Saint Laurent has passed away. I am extremely saddened by this. He was a man of style and grace and I believe know the fashion industry will miss him terribly. ♥

"St. Laurent has always been one of my greatest fashion mentors. ... Every woman in the world, sometimes without even knowing it, has something in her closet inspired by Yves Saint Laurent. His genius is irreplacable."
- Michael Kors

"He was a great designer, and I admired his fidelity to a style that was precise and without comparison, as well as his sense of fantasy and his great respect for women and beauty. He was also a great artist. I am very sad about his departure."
- Valentino
