Yves Saint Laurent

If you haven't yet read The Beautiful Fall by Alicia Drake, please do so. It taught me so much about the early lives and careers of two of the greatest fashion designers of our time: Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld. I even discovered their most private habits and how their inner circle...
