You’re right! I got the wrong guy.

Dude, you are very wise. And at Christmas they always have those cool gift packs!

Guen, it's humid here in Arkansas too!! I might try a lighter frangrance this time of year :)

Per Fox News he helped to make the pantsuit more fashionable. Feel free to go with this.

My first thought.

I remember seeing him as a mystery guest on “What’s My Line” on the Game Show Network. The segment looked to have been filmed in the early sixties. YSL was very young and I was struck by how extremely shy he appeared to be. I always thought he had a great name for a designer. May he RIP.

It was Yves Saint Laurent who paired women’s pantsuits with high heels, which I just love.

I used to smoke YSL cigarettes (yes, he had his brand on cigarettes) back in the late 80’s.

I was too cool for the room.

His first big design was the trapeze dress, which influenced generations of loose dresses, including the shapeless shifts and mods of the '60's. (Too maternity dress looking):

I don't yearn for early St. Laurent. I do for early Dior:

Apparently he was run over by the Partridge Family bus.

I was going to say I liked it until you pointed out - quite correctly - that it looked very Partrich Family.

Early Dior is brilliant. These days, Kleibecker is pretty nifty, though he doesn’t do two lines a year. YSL’s stuff is normally very classy, though... trapeze and maternity fashions aside. :)
