The fashion legend, Yves Saint Laurent, was laid to rest today in Paris.
The icon and the influence of so many modern designers passed away early this week and the ceremony, with full military honors, was held today in the Eglise Saint-Roch in Paris. Attending were so many well known people in the fashion and political world, but pictured above, in front of the coffin, are the French Minister of Culture, Christine Albanel, French President (and his wife) Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, Saint Laurent’s partner Pierre Berge and Paris Mayor, Bertrand Delanoe.
There is a wonderful article in the International Herald Tribune about the funeral if you want to read more of the details. So sad – he was only 71, that is so young these days.
