- Associated Press - Published: June 2, 2008
Some quotes carrying fashion wisdom from the legendary fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, who died Sunday, all attributed to the Foundation Pierre Berge Yves Saint Laurent:
_ “I participated in the transformation of my era. I did it with clothes, which is surely less important than music, architecture, painting … but whatever it’s worth I did it.” (2002)
_ “I always believed that style was more important than fashion. They are rare, those who imposed their style while fashion makers are so numerous.” (1993)
_ “The most beautiful clothes that can dress a woman are the arms of the man she loves. But for those who haven’t had the fortune of finding this happiness, I am there.” (1983)
_ “I tried to show that fashion is an art. For that, I followed the counsel of my master Christian Dior and the imperishable lesson of Mademoiselle Chanel. I created for my era and I tried to foresee what tomorrow would be.” (1983)
_”The street and me is a love story. 1971 is a great date because, finally, fashion took to the street.” (1971)
