    Oh my I’ve never seen this kind of picture. All I remember are shots from his fashion shows. I wouldn’t have even recognized him. What a great portrait!

    he kind of reminds me of a guy from Project Runway from I think season 2? I didnt know Tom Ford took over YSL!

    In the realm of dissing, I’d say that’s an awesome one for sure.

    This morning on the Travel Channel Samantha went to a really neat vintage store in Miami. It has a Web site that I’ve been looking at, thinking of you often. It’s at http://shop.cmadeleines.com/. I imagine that you already go there regularly.

    I know Yves wasn’t a big fan of Tom, but I’ve never read this quote before – I love it!

    Great photo and typical YSL put down! I hope to do my dissertation on him.
    Also I don’t buy into the new (sold) YSL – it is just a name no longer a house proper.

    Gorgeous photo! Definitely would not have guessed that was YSL if I had just seen it wihtout being told who it was.

    Great burn as well by YSL.
