“The Rites of Fashion”  Yves St. Laurent There was an almost macabre air about the pale, gawky young man with the luminous eyes and the slim hands; they were fragile hands, as delicate as the stalks of white iris, and his long, lank hair, carefully tinted in a flat russet, fell down in the back over his starched white collar, and over the templates of his heavy, wide-lensed eyeglasses.  He had well-shaped ears, a prominent, almost patrician nose, and a wide, full-lipped, sensual mouth.  When he spoke, it was in a hushed and diffident tone, the kind of voice one associates with an undertaker.  He said: “Allons, mes enfants, il faut commencer…” Newsweek August 12, 1963
