Yves Saint Laurent, considered by some as the greatest fashion designer of the 20th Century, has died in Paris at the age of 71.

Yves Henri Donat Mathieu-Saint-Laurent (August 1, 1936 - June 1, 2008), was a French pied noir fashion designer, and was considered among the greatest of the 20th century. In 1985, in her book, Couture: The Great Fashion Designers, Caroline Rennolds Milbank wrote, "The most consistently celebrated and influential designer of the past twenty-five years, Yves Saint Laurent can be credited with both spurring the couture's rise from its Sixties ashes and with finally rendering ready-to-wear reputable".
