thanks static & karma 4u
I am really amazed how Yves reserved his style through different decades & genration I mean from the 1962 until 2002 he was able to maintain his style & perfecting his iconic outfits as if we see them for the 1st time season after season , at that time it might sound boring, but he knows it is good for his legacy..& he should be respected for that.

Very true, and yet at the same time his 'look' was in constant evolution. From the Beatnick to the 40's-inspired to the Ballet Russes collection there was such a wide range of styles, colours, and attitudes, yet somehow they don't seem to lack a common thread. One of the many reasons I adore Yves
