Yves Saint Laurent: A Tribute


(Yves Saint Laurent (1936-2008), Stylized Portrait by Tiner).

From being the first designer to use African American models on the catwalk to revolutionizing the fashion world for decades, Yves Saint Laurent was a contemporary renaissance man. Laurent leaves behind a legacy of quality, innovative and prestigious couture designs. Moving beyond the runway, Laurent's ability to follow his passion will remain a strong influence for designers, entrepreneurs and individuals.

My thoughts go out to Laurent's family and friends.
