Recalling Yves Saint-Laurent[1]

Yves St. Laurent, fashion designer, died Sunday after a yearlong battle with brain cancer. Head of the fashion house of the same name, Laurent led a groundbreaking career. He popularized the beatnik look in the early sixties, was the first major designer to use black models and, in 1966, he changed the face of fashion with his famous tuxedo suit for women.
