Yves Saint Laurent 1936-2008

I find it semi-spooky that my last blog post was about a Yves St. Laurent product. I intended to post on Sunday, a "Happy June!" sort of thing before I went on to Maybelline Define-A-Lash. Instead, June 1st gave me a gorgeous day and some sad news. With that, I am wearing Christian Dior's "Remember Me," a lovely limited edition/discontinued fragrance released in 2000 before Yves retired.

I think this quote is my favorite of the ones I've seen in the obits:

"Yves didn't like the word fashion that much, he liked style. ... What will be missing in the world of fashion is a total respect of the human being, of the woman." — Lulu de la Falaise, Saint Laurent's studio assistant and a close friend for more than 30 years
