Fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent has died at the age of 71 in his Paris home after suffering months of declining health.According to reports:
One of the most influential couturiers of the last century, Saint Laurent’s best-known creation was the 1966 women’s tuxedo pant suit, “Le Smoking”, which combined traditional masculine tailoring with a feminine silhouette.Other signature pieces included safari jackets, peasant smocks and the Mondrian-print mini-dress which he debuted in 1965.
Yves Henri Donat Mathieu Saint Laurent was born in Oran, Algeria, on August 1, 1936. He was a shy, lonely child, who was fascinated with clothes.Saint Laurent had a complete portfolio of sketches when as a seventeen year old he arrived in Paris to study fashion in 1953.
Yves retired from haute couture in 2002.
May he design wonderful pieces for the angels now.
