Yesterday, 2 May, Yves Saint Laurent passed away. It was such a sad day for the entire fashion world. I could barely wrote a news annoucing his death. He did such amazing things for the woman as we see her today. He was one of the kings of the fashion scene. Now he’s gone… too quickly.

I found a Vogue issue dated march 1956, in witch Yves Saint Laurent was spotted the new ‘en vogue’ designer from Paris:

“showing none of the too-pretty, fussy details that one might have expected from a young designer”. His “trapeze like” designs are devoted to the flared, bell shape, with wide hemlines”.

The cover of this issue professes that “green remains one of the most wearable colours”. Full page advertisements (many of which are for lingerie and corsets, emphasising the importance of a clinched waist at this time), dominate the magazine until the contents, which isn’t until page 117.
