Yves Saint Laurent passes at 71
Yves Saint Laurent (71 years old) may have sadly departed after losing his battle with cancer on June 1st, 2008 but he will be gracefully remembered as one of the greatest couturiers of our time and as the first designer who dressed women in trouser suits. He successfully adapted masculine clothes for females and made them look feminine and sexy. Many of the ladies, including Carla Bruni (French President Sarkozy's wife) who modelled for him in the nineties, paid tribute to the designer by wearing trouser suits to his funeral.
