i also saw some other pictures of the funeral today on the website of a German daily and they made me sad (no funeral is happy i guess, but still), especially c. Deneuve looks really saddened. also, i did not know that he and Berge were 50 years together! amazing. he will be missed, such a shame he had to die the way he did, i know what i'm talking about.
hope his legacy will inspire many to come :)

It is always sad to see unique personalities like Yves Saint Laurent pass away.
It is also a bit trist to realize that in his life, YSL was not able to easily experience joy of living and that the creative process was always such a cause of suffering for him. One is tempted to think that he would have probably fared better in a form of art that allows for more solitude than fashion design. But that's what he loved to do.
