Bye Yves Saint Laurent :(
Yves Saint Laurent had a precocious talent; at the age of eighteen he won a dress design competition, which brought him to the notice of Christian Dior. Within three years, Dior had died and Yves St Laurent had taken his place.
He made clothes that were elegant and sexy, reflecting women's more confident role in society. He took the world by storm with his tuxedo, ethnic prints and designs inspired by the art world.
Taunted as a schoolboy because of his homosexuality, he suffered mental and physical ill-health for much of his life and rarely appeared in public. But his influence will last for years to come - France has lost not only its greatest fashion designer but also a cultural icon.
