The day after the mourning day

I am still disturb about YSL's death. I can't assume the last couturier has died. So simple, as the rest of mere mortals. Cerebral tumour. That's all. The end of one of the best designers in the last century. All of us owned something to him. He didn't just influenced people who bought his clothes, but everybody. Le smoking, transparent blouse, he gave women powder. We can't never forget that. When people say to me that terrible sentence: "Being interested in art is cool, being interested in fashion is frivolous", he comes to my mind. Fashion never had a most perfect convergence between art and fashion. He was the epitome of that. He was pure art: his life, his creations, his sensitivity, his way of doing women's lives easier. Yesterday post was a tribute, today's is an affirmation: I will never forget him, and I hope you either.


I can't think in a better tribute to YSL than wearing his clothes, as wise Carolina and Diane did yesterday at the CFDA's. Both in vintage YSL, Diane in black, mourning maybe? I guess so. I was looking at the CFDA's outfits with the aim of doing a post about the best-dressed, but I can't. Why? Because today I am not impartial, and these two ladies have my vote, not only for the respect they show, but also for the elegance wearing his designs.








A�n estoy trastornada con la muerte de YSL. No soy capaz de asumir que el �ltimo gran couturier ha muerto. Es demasiado simple, es algo -probablemente lo �nico- que comparte con los dem�s, meros mortales. Tumor cerebral. Eso es todo. El final de uno de los grandes dise�adores del siglo XX ha sido tan simple como podr�a ser el m�o, o el tuyo. Realmente todos le debemos algo a YSL. Influenci� a todas las mujeres, no solo a aquellas que pudieron permitirse sus dise�os. Los esmoquins, las blusas transparentes, �l agit� su afilado l�piz en pro de hacer poderosa a la mujer, hasta entonces bastante indefensa. No podemos olvidar eso. Cuando la gente me dice esa terrible frase "Estar interesado en el arte es guay, pero estar interesado en la moda es fr�volo", �l viene a mi mente. Nunca se di� en la historia de la moda una convergencia tan perfecta entre arte y moda, su persona era eso. El post de ayer intentaba ser un tributo a un genio, y el de hoy es una afirmaci�n: nunca lo olvidar�, y espero que vosotros tampoco.



No puedo pensar en un tributo mejor a YSL que llevar sus dise�os, como hicieron ayer las sabias Carolina y Diane, a la gala de los CFDA. Las dos iban en YSL vintage, Diane de negro, luto quiz�s? supongo que s�. Estaba mirando los modelitos que pasaron por la alfombra roja de NYC, intentando hacer un post sobre las mejor vestidas, pero no puedo. �Por qu�? pues porque hoy no soy imparcial, y estas dos mujeres tienen mi voto, no solo por el respeto que mostraron con este gesto, sino tambi�n por la elegancia con la que llevaron sus dise�os.
