Yves Saint Laurent may be the highest-earning dead celebrity, but he's not getting much love from designer-turned-director Tom Ford , according to the December/January issue of The Advocate.
In a new interview that's sure to send ol' Yves doing 360s in his grave, Ford -- who won raves... Read Full Story
When Emma Watson was spotted in the audience of a New York baseball game this weekend, the American press went into a frenzy of speculation about her date – 'handsome Spanish rock star Rafael Cebrián' (apparently the drummer with the band The Monomes, but also a fellow student of Watson’s at Brown).

PARIS, March 10 (Reuters) - Fashion house Yves Saint Laurent
will not be cutting prices or corners in the face the economic

buyers were adopting a more cautious attitude. "Lowering... Read Full Story
Yves Saint Laurent's Spring 2009 felt like a homage to the late designer with many tuxedo jackets, kimono jackets and superb tailoring. The opening jackets were teamed with pants which had a dropped crotch and came in three lengths.
