The fashion world mourns the death of fashion icon Yves St. Laurent. At 71 years, YSL contributed more to fashion than any other designer. His designs had graced the runways around the world for decades. His greatest contribution to fashion was pants for women-allowing woman to enjoy the comfort of pants while still being a woman.
He will be deeply missed.

After many months of speculation and hoping for an address on Les Champs Elysees Apple will finally have a spot.  Jobs was unsuccessful at finding a ...

Only the French could make politics and love glamorous.  France's president Nicholas Sarkozy has been photographed jet setting with a former Italian supermodel Carla Bruni.  A 52 year old man dating a supermodel is news in itself.  Add the fact that he is the president of France and the news media perks up.  Did I mention that he just divorced his wife in October.  Bruni is a younger version of her.
