Yves Saint Laurent - the drama and the succes!
Posted: 10/9/06Two days ago Yves Saint Laurent collapsed in Paris, outside of the Yves Saint Laurent boutique on Avenue Montaigne, and was rushed to the hospital. The fashion legend suffered a stroke and so far it’s not clear in what condition the fashion star is at the moment. I really hope he’ll recover from this drama!
The night before the Yves Saint Laurent spring/summer collection of 2007 was showed at the Paris Fashion Week and I must say: it’s a great collection! I thought the round shilouettes were the biggest eye-catcher of the whole collection, the bubble shape of the dresses and skirts created a very modern and sophistaced look wich exalted luxe! The main colour of the show was purple, even the runway was purple: the models walked on lavender flowers. The collection recalled the seminal Opium collection ofYves Saint Laurent from the 1970s with wrap waisted jackets and wide, billowing harem pants.
I really like this evening dress. It has a fluid silhouette, but you can still see the bubble shape in it. The colour is absolutly gorgous, perfect for a cocktail party. This dress creates the perfect figure, it showes off your shoulders and gives you a lovely waist. I can not wait untill this collection comes out! Well done Stefano Pilati and get well Yves Saint Laurent!
