The reclusive Saint Laurent's couture creations won global fine art status and he was widely considered to be one of an elite club of designers including Christian Dior and Coco Chanel who made Paris the fashion capital of the world.

He left the world a more beautiful place. Bien joué, monsieur maître.

But this ... he was widely considered to be one of an elite club of designers including Christian Dior and Coco Chanel who made Paris the fashion capital of the world.

Quelle insolence! Paris has been the fashion capital of the world for centuries. St. Laurent was one of the brightest manifestations of the glory that is French chic.

All I know about Yves Saint Laurent I learned from doing the New York Times crossword puzzle every day.

Which is to say nothing except that "Yves" and "YSL" have gotten many a constructor out of a jam. And, coincidentally, he is in today's puzzle.

Last night I was reading the rag for the De Young & Palace of Fine Arts and inside, found to my delight, a blurb for an upcoming YSL exhibit. 125 pieces. I'm so there!

:cool:

And it does amuse me, my dear 3894, that you have the Aussie Orry-Kelly in your avatar. One of my favorite cinema designers! Not YSL, but fabulous clothes!
