Dear Shaded Viewers,
I’m sure you can read this in every possible publication but for those of you that are not aware of the news, YSL passed away last night at the age of 71.
1962 YSL fashion show.
Quotes from YSL:
_ “I participated in the transformation of my era. I did it with clothes, which is surely less important than music, architecture, painting … but whatever it’s worth I did it.” (2002)
_ “I always believed that style was more important than fashion. They are rare, those who imposed their style while fashion makers are so numerous.” (1993)
_ “The most beautiful clothes that can dress a woman are the arms of the man she loves. But for those who haven’t had the fortune of finding this happiness, I am there.” (1983)
_ “I tried to show that fashion is an art. For that, I followed the counsel of my master Christian Dior and the imperishable lesson of Mademoiselle Chanel. I created for my era and I tried to foresee what tomorrow would be.” (1983)
_ “The street and me is a love story. 1971 is a great date because, finally, fashion took to the street.” (1971)
The passing of an icon.
