    Yves Saint Laurent passed away 1 june 08



    http://www.france24.com/en/20080602-designer-yves-saint-laurent-dead-foundation-0




    Yves Saint Laurent, one the top French
    designers of the 20th century, died Sunday evening in Paris, the
    Pierre-Bergé-Saint Laurent Foundation said.



    The reclusive French
    maestro, who had retired from haute couture in 2002 after four decades
    at the top of his trade, had been ill for some time.



    Yves Henri
    Donat Mathieu Saint Laurent was born in the coastal town of Oran,
    Algeria, on August 1, 1936, at a time when the North African country
    was still considered part of France.



    After taking over the
    Christian Dior fashion house following the death of its founder in
    1957, Saint Laurent founded his own company in the early 1960s. He made
    his own name on the back of the rise of the youth market and pop
    culture, fuelled by the economic boom of that decade, when women
    suddenly had more economic freedom.

    ...I mean the ephemeral, the fugitive, the contingent, the half of art whose other half is the eternal and the immutable.

                  [quote user="wire.artist"]Sad....I wish he had worked until the end, like Picasso or Michelangelo.
                  [/quote]



                  He's been sick for years, there was a close call in 07... He did work on the foundation though so his work was preserved.

                    This is sad, just saw it on the news and I knew there would be
                    something here on SZ. I didn't realize he was still relatively
                    young.

                        He was a giant among men,




                        may his soul rest in peace

                        “You know,” he says, with a resilient smile, “it is a hard world for poets.”
