Yves St. Laurent Dead at 71


Famous French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent died Sunday in Paris at the age of 71. Laurent will be remembered best perhaps for making menswear sexy for women. His Le Smoking tuxedo for women was considered shocking when it was created in 1966. He was also known for dressing Catherine Deneuve in smart skirts and coats in her turn as a lady of the evening in "Belle de Jour." Laurent retired from designing in 2002 and Gucci bought the YSL brand in 1999. As my colleague Jared Paul Stern mentioned last week, and exhibit of Yves St. Laurent's work is currently on display in Montreal (also see his recent column on Laurent's famed 1962 fashion show). He was also a man of great personal taste as his former New York apartment shows, he will be much missed in a world that often seems short of men of style.

YSL Downtown Computer Case

I've never fallen in love with a laptop bag but the stunning YSL Downtown Computer Case is in a league of it's own! Finely crafted in Italy from luxurious black patent leather, embellished with gold hardware featuring a sturdy working lock and key. And the bottom is stamped with a large YSL logo, so chic. The adjustable shoulder strap and double zipper closure offer convenience while the inside zip pocket keeps you organized. Did I mention I'm obsessed with this bag? Available on YSL.com for $1,795. I'm saving up!

Yves St. Laurent's New York Pad, Estate of the Day


Today's estate comes to us from the Wall Street Journal's Private Properties section. It is the elegant apartment of Yves St. Laurent and his business partner Pierre Berge. The apartment is located in the swanky Pierre hotel which is home to that blockbuster $70 million listing. The apartment was decorated by the late Jed Johnson, whose client list included Mick Jagger and Richard Gere. The home has a combined living-dining room with hand-stenciled linen wall coverings, leather-lined mahogany dressing areas and Central Park views. St. Laurent and Berge bought the New York apartment in 1978 but haven't stayed there a lot recently. The home has two bedrooms each with custom leather-lined mahogany dressing areas and mahogany and marble ensuite baths. It was recently reduced to $7.75 million. After the jump, how a gentleman bathes.

Yves St Laurent Yse Satchel, Handbag of the Day

Sleek and simple are two words that can be used to describe the Yves St Laurent Yse Satchel, although they certainly can't entirely encompass all the traits of this bag. The large satchel (11 1/2"H x 18"W x 5"D) is made in a warm, beige leather and is accented with soft, suede trim. The strap can be looped over the shoulder or held in hand, adding extra versatility, and there are small metal feet to protect the base of the bag. A dangling key tag adds a bit of interest without drawing too much attention to the bag, though the gold hardware gives it a special, luxurious edge. Price: $1,695.
