Today, Yves Saint Laurent died. As a fan of fashion, this is a sad day. People will, without a doubt, eulogize him over the next few days. I think Yves’ practical sense of style and understanding for the understated, can be summed up with one simple quote:

I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity – all I hope for in my clothes.

Yves accomplished that and more with his style. As people cover this story, celebrate his work. It truly changed the world…
