Some fresh new kicks for the 2008 Fall / Winter season from Yves Saint Laurent. I know my mans AJK, will appreciate these joints for sure with their soft leather materials, classic clean lines and 80’s silhoutte what’s not to love. Coming in black or white or black with white gum soles, these are instant must have for the fellas. Check out www.ysl.com for more information on the upcoming collection.

Here’s a fancy shoe, the Tribute, from Yves Saint Laurent (also available in purple, not as hot). To me, this shoe screams little black dress and posh event. But I really like the black suede and open toe platform style. The gold piping is just the icing on the cake. I see this more as a winter/Christmas party shoe, but one gift that will keep giving year round.

Reported just a few hours ago on USA Today’s website is the death of Yves Saint Laurent. The fashion legend, 71, passed away in Paris on Sunday. Pierre Berge, Saint Laurent’s business partner for four decades, said he had died at his Paris home following a long illness.
Saint Laurent’s three-letter monogram is perhaps as synonymous with — and significant to — 20th-century style as T.S. Eliot’s is with literature. He was “unquestionably the greatest designer” from the 1950s to 2000, says Valerie Steele, director of The Museum at FIT (New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology). Saint Laurent’s influence and magnitude is eclipsed only by Coco Chanel, Steele says. “Just as Chanel brought modernism into women’s fashion, you could say Yves Saint Laurent brought fashion up to a kind of contemporary life. - USA Today
Personally I first heard of YSL when I moved to the city in ‘98 and became a bit more fashion conscious. His line was definitely clean with a casual touch. Also the fragrance Live Jazz was a personal favorite of mine for years and still is a classic fragrance in my mind.
