Yves Saint Laurent passed away on Sunday at his home in Paris, after battling a long undisclosed illness. YSL hasn’t been in the public eye for a year. Yves Saint Laurent blew up the fashion scene at the age of 21, as a new designer at Christian Dior taking secession from Christian Dior himself. Thereafter Yves became a major icon in the fashion realm and would remain so 50 years later. (courtesy of trashbagaesthetics)
