Yves Saint Laurent has died


French designer Yves Saint Laurent died today at the age of 71 years-old. Laurent is best known for revolutionizing women’s fashion over the past 50 years, as well as salvaging the Christian Dior collection after Dior’s sudden death in 1957, and saving that company from financial disaster.

Laurent became ill last week, fell into a coma on Wednesday evening, and finally died today. The man was a living legend in the fashion industry.
