Tribute to a real legend



Yves Saint Laurent died this past weekend, at 71 (read the NY Times Obituary). A long and renowned career, he was the last of the true great couturiers who put Paris on the map. Though he had retired several years ago, his company continued on and will insure that the YSL logo and the man behind it are not soon forgotten.











Mr Laurent's legacy is sure to live on in the designs produced by others but imbued with his creative spirit..hopefully, they will continue to do honor to his name.

Among the handbags sure to be remembered that have been featured here, and in no particular order...

The fashion world has lost a larger than life legend with the passing of Yves Saint Laurent, but what a truly remarkable career and life he has left to be remembered by.
