• The docs on YSL are must viewing about the struggles artists go through to achieve their works. The docs are also extremely entertaining. There’s a wonderful clip of Catherine Deneuve trying on clothes.

  The world has a lost a great artist and a gentleman who had style. He will be missed.

• YSL was and will always remain an icon. Thank you for what you did for womens’ fashion and for Opium.

• I started wearing Opium when I was 14 years old, despite the contrast between the ultra sophisticated scent and my geeky adolescent awkwardness. It made me feel special. I still wear it today at 40.

  Au revoir, Monsieur.
