I know he has even more to give to the fashion world than he already has.

Are you not aware that he hasn't designed for a few years?

 

[kezme44]

this doesn't sound good at all

From 2002...

I have nothing in common with this new world of fashion, which has been reduced to mere window-dressing. Elegance and beauty have been banished. ~YSL

 

[~Fashionista~]

I hope he gets better...

 

[jackieonassis]

Please don't leave us YSL!

 

[BaroqueRockstar]

[MUXU]

ok kids, let´s take YSL´s life as an example of how we shouldn´t live our own, for those that don´t know, Mr Saint laurent had a very unhealthy, abusive life style (drug and alcohol abuse), couldn´t stop smoking even at fittings or choosing fabrics, and so on.

He is as old as Karl Lagerfeld, Armani and Valentino, who lead a much controled life style and look...

Still, I hope he does not get worse. We can only hope he gets better.

Must suck to have fun in your younger days and live to be in your 70s. I'd hpe to die in my 70s so I don't become old and feeble in my 80s or 90s.

how very PC and hypocritical of you to state such things dior....no need in getting preachy. as if your beloved behind your nickname and your favourites list is and ever has been the healthiest of them all.....same goes for donatella(she could be a proxy for skin cancer awareness...among the same things you're talking in respect of Yves). don't try and single him out. the man is 70...alot of people that age who never had the kind of lifestyle he's had still have health problems.

 

[beaverhausen]

I hope he recovers soon. He's been hospitalized before but for some reason this time it sounds more serious.

Yves is a regular visitor for the American Hospital since his breakthrought in the Algerian war at his early 20's,...& there was his death rumor in the early 80's...oh I wish him a long healthy life...
since his retirement 5 years ago I am still dreaming for a comeback to the fashion scene

Feel better soon Yves!

 

[Miss Dalloway]

I hope he gets better.

 

[city girl]

He's been in hospital a few times..let's just hope he pulls through this time

On a completely superficial note i never realised how handsome he was when he was younger

[ApertureRomance]

It's sad that he feels out of place in the "fashion world".

I hope that he gets better soon.

Why is extreme genius accompanied by borderline madness so many times? ...What a brilliant, sad man...
