YVES SAINT LAURENT

In fashion, he did it first.

Russian furs and rich fabrics,

Khaki and tunics,

Huge bows,

Red and fushia,

Modrian color blocking,

Black lace backs.

His inspiration came from art

and Morocco and the sparkling

glamorous jet set scene.

He wanted to make women feel

beautiful and confident.

He was also very sad and shy.

I love his glasses.

He loved his hair.

And his idea of heaven was

being in a big bed. L'Amour fou.
