Dear Yves

Yves Saint Laurent, one the most influential designers of the 20th century, died Sunday evening in Paris.

"Yves Saint Laurent died Sunday at 11:10 pm," a source in Pierre-Berge-Saint Laurent Foundation stated.

The world and especially the fashion industry has so much to thank this man it's unbelievable. Where would we be without Le Smoking or skinny trousers, or his thinking of democratize fashion, with Rive Gauche? And for using black women on his catwalk when no one else did? Dear Yves. You will be greatly missed.
