The iconic designer Yves Saint Laurent died this past weekend at the age of 71. His business and personal partner Pierre Berge summed up Saint Laurent's impact quite eloquently: "He was a libertarian, an anarchist and he threw bombs at the legs of society. That's how he transformed society and that's how he transformed women." (How awesome is that eulogy?) Check out this charming 1962 video of his fashion show in Paris, which was a make-or-break event for his house. For fashion purists, there is some wonderful discussion about copying designs and the importance of haute couture.
My favorite was Lee Radziwell.
What was it about those "secretive, whispering sisters . . . ". her and Jackie? Sigh. Those days are gone forever.
