    Saint Laurent changed the face of the fashion industry when he became chief designer of the House of Dior at 21.

    He designed clothes that reflected women's changing role in society: more confident personally, sexually and in the work-place.

    He retired from haute couture in 2002 and had been ill for some time

        He was taken down in a hail of bullets by a brigade of fashion police.

        That is, the illness in question.

        Not being morbid--this is part of his bio, no?

          I thought his designs were brilliant. So sad.

            My, Saint--such a hostile fantasy!

            Don't you like to dress up?

              Whenever I tried on Yves Saint Laurent suits, the suits looked good, but were always too snug in the crotch area.

              The same for Polo sometimes. I usually buy the Hart Schaffner Marx which are more comfortable.

              I guess this dude made some folks happy with his stuff. RIP fella.
