A Beauty Icon Bids “Adieu”
June 2, 2008
The fashion and beauty world has sadly lost one of its premier icons.
Yves Saint Laurent, responsible for the Trapeze dress and the women’s pant-suit among other innovative and, and at the time, controversial fashion innovations, has passed away.
GirlPaint joins the world as it mournes the loss of the great Saint Laurent, deservingly described as…” a towering figure of 20th century fashion” and “…a French national treasure”. His official obituary can be read here.
