Yves Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2011

The sexy, sleek looks of YSL's summer collection literally drive me insane. Can you not imagine the attention you would get walking into a party dressed like that? i can, every day!
Then take a look at Arthur Mendonca's Fall 2011 show for Toronto Fashion week. Mr. Mondonca's stylist based his look on catherine baba (faaabulous). Jay Strut wrote a swanky piece about Mendonca's collection. read it at Style Caster
here's a look at one:

and then of course the often imitated; Catherine Baba, taken from the Acne blog, right here



I'm still trying to rock the turban, but alas, the scarf has to do for now.
Speaking of scarves i have a huge collection that will be arriving in store this week. from YSL, Gucci, Burberry, Salvatore Ferragamo to more affordable pieces in true vintage styles.
Merci!

Yves Saint Laurent Dies

PARIS–Legendary designer Yves Saint Laurent, who reworked the rules of fashion by putting women into elegant pantsuits that came to define how modern women dressed, died Sunday evening, a longtime friend and associate said. He was 71.

Pierre Berge did not give details but said Saint Laurent had died following a long illness.

A towering figure of 20th century fashion, Saint Laurent was widely considered the last of a generation that included Christian Dior and Coco Chanel and made Paris the fashion capital of the world, with the Rive Gauche, or Left Bank, as its elegant headquarters.

In the fast-changing world of haute couture, Saint Laurent was hailed as the most influential and enduring designer of his time. From the first YSL tuxedo and his trim pantsuits to see-through blouses, safari jackets and glamorous gowns, Saint Laurent created instant classics that remain stylish decades later.

When the designer announced his retirement in 2002 at age 65 and the closure of the Paris-based haute couture house he had founded 40 years earlier, it was mourned in the fashion world as the end of an era. His ready-to-wear label, Rive Gauche, which was sold to Gucci in 1999, still has boutiques around the world.

In October 2006, Saint Laurent slipped and fell outside a Paris restaurant during Fashion Week, suffering slight scratches but reminding fans of the perennially fragile designer's advancing age.
