IVES SAINT LAURENT HAS DIED
IN MEMORIAM
* The designer, who succeed to transform the history of the clothing in a history of the art, passed away from this world
The greatest contemporary dictator of the fashion – Ives Saint Laurent – passed away... After prolonged illness he died late in the evening at 1th of June 2008 at his home in Paris. After his death the haute couture will never be the same again.... For decades past he emancipated the woman, dressing her in trousers and in tuxedos. For decades past he succeed to create one whole epoch of the high style – well-deserved continuation of Koko Chanel, Christian Dior and Cristobal Balensiaga.. For decades past he really succeed to transform the history of the clothing in a history of the art! The little prince of the French fashion isn’t already between the live people, but now and in the future million his admirers will be always with Ives Saint Laurent forever.
While still living, when Saint Laurent suddenly announced that he withdraws from the fashion stage, the experts in the whole world already compete to remind and to calculate all his inventions and merits to the unique fashion and to equalize him to John Lennon and to Andy Warhol. They were categorical, that with his leaving will die the haute couture it self. In fact, why during his lifetime the maestro turns his back on the fashion world? If because of discomfort, provoked by the new generation stylists, having nothing common with his conception for beauty and elegance or in a result of exhaustion and overwork from the fight with the influence of the narcotics and of the loneliness? Maybe in the basis of his then decision interweaved professional and deeply existential reasons. Today the whole world sorrows over his death and he is deeply grieved from this irreparable loss. Together with this the connoisseurs of the real elegance, between whose fathers was Ives Saint Laurent, know that his creative work is immortal, because in his basis was the aesthetical attitude to the people and to the life, was the piety of the designer to Picasso and George Brak, Piet Mondrian and Marcel Prust. The woman and her skill to seduce as also the ethnical cultures were between the never failing sources of his inspiration. The style of Ives Saint Laurent is an absolute competitor of the transitory. This style can’t go in the non-existence, leaved prostrate and forgotten. Because Ives Saint Laurent is forever!
