And he died of...
God rest his soul. I’m sure he influenced what I wear, although I have no idea exactly how.

“Fashion King”? Or “Queen”?

A fragile fellow.
he did single handedly save Dior from ruin
he was a dandy on the 54 cicuit as i recall, hobnobbing with Liza, Lauren, Truman and Andy etc.
prolly attended Truman’s famous black-white ball too
60s and 70s caker lore for you youngbloods
I liked his stuff. I could never pay retail. But at a Macy’s one day sale or at the outlets..............well, I too could be styling the YSL

In a time when so many guys dress like slobs, Ralph reminded some guys of how a MAN dresses. So, RIP.
Per Fox News he helped to make the pantsuit more fashionable. Feel free to go with this.
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.
