RIP Yves Saint Laurent

Long time friend Pierre Berge released the news of the great fashion legend's death. Yves Saint Laurent died at age 71 in his home in Paris following a long illness.
Saint Laurent changed the way women dressed by designing the elegant pantsuit that basically defined how the modern women dressed.
This is a great loss for the fashion world! Saint Laurent was considered the last of the greats of his generation alongside Christian Dior and Coco Chanel...

SO I'M BITTER...

I was a little bitter that I didn't get an invite from Anna Wintour to the 2008 Costume Institute Gala, aka the Met Ball. I mean, Anna, after all that we've been through. Ugh that was bitchy. But its ok I could have been invited then uninvited like Rachael Zoe(Damn thats cold!). Besides I've worked past it with a few sessions with my therapist. I'm sending you the bill BTW A.W.. I did want to comment on a few looks I loved.



Starting with Gossip Girl's Michelle Trachtenberg who showed up in this off-the-shoulder gold skirt gown. A 1976 Vintage Yves Saint Laurent. Touche my dear! Touche! Very Coquette of you. I also love the Cesare Paciotti clutch.




Wow... hottest couple went to Tom Brady and Gisele Bunchen in Versace. I don't know who to be more jealous of? I would switch places with the both of them.


And finally Christina Ricci for best imitation of a lolly pop. Just kidding I loved her. She actually was my favorite of the night for emulating Wonder Woman (the lolly pop) in Givenchy.

YSL RUNWAY FAll/WINTER '08-'09...

by Pierre Baltadano


I'm sure I am a bit late on this but in looking through the intaweb I came across a video runway show created by Yves Saint Laurent Creative Director Stefano Pilati featuring actor Simon Woods. I quite like this. Yeah it's not a live runway show but I like how you can see moving details of the clothing. Thoughts?
