Yves Saint Laurent death anniversary of a revolutionary fashion

Massacred by Marie Dominique Lelievre, with the biography Mauvais Garcon (boy), where we talk about sex, drugs, psychiatric clinics and character impossible. It tells of a manic omnipotence, search spasmodic success of extreme loneliness and a descent into hell at the age of 50 years. Stripped in a frank but with utmost respect by Pierre Berg, business partner and companion for 50 years in YSL Yves Letters to where we read Lost in human terms, but never in his genius.

Designer like him, who have had such a strong influence on society, there was only Chanel. And there will be others. Today, June 1, 2011, marks the third year of death and I wonder if it's just guilty of voyeurism, going to dig into the dark side of the person looking for the reasons that led him to pursue the path he did, right or wrong when there is so much beauty in what he did and that left Yves Saint Laurent.

We look to the artist, the genius, to 5,000 items of historical archive, which none of the great possesses a unique ability to reinvent some concepts, such as male dress for women, one of the flagships of YSL. He broke the pattern of the Convention, has revolutionized the style of women, shouting to the world that women should feel free to wear pants.

Suzy Menkes, sent one of the fashion world's most famous and Editor of International Herald Tribune said that in Nam Kempner, star New York high society, she was denied entry into a local call to Madison Avenue, just because he wore one of the first YSL trouser suit and she got rid of the object of scandal and came dressed in the jacket alone.

Freedom, revolution, innovation, creativity, angels and demons, this was YSL.
