Designers Pay Tribute to Yves Saint Laurent
He’s been a beacon in the fashion design industry for decades, and earlier today his partner Pierre Berge as well as 600 guests said goodbye to Yves Saint Laurent , who passed away this past Sunday due to a brain tumor.
The service was held at the Saint Roche Church in Paris, France and everyone who was anyone was in attendance, looking fabulous of course.
Even French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife Carla Bruni were in attendance to pay their respects and console the grieving. And designers such as Catherine Deneuve, Sonia Rykiel, Jean Paul Gaultier, Christian Lacrois, John Galliano, and Bernard Arnault all showed up.
Berge gave a very moving eulogy, saying, “It’s the last time I speak to you, Yves. I remember the first time we met and those days that followed. The day we decided to be together. I remember telling you in your bed at Val de Grace hospital that you were no longer the head of the couture house where you worked, and I remember your reaction. ...I remember your first collection under your name and the tears at the end. Then the years passed. Oh, how they passed quickly.”
