A Fashion Manifesto

With the passing of fashion legend of Yves San Laurent came much mourning. He was an icon who absolutely loved to put clothes on women and push the envelope. Who can forget his ability to make women wearing pants a chic statement back when women only wore skirts and dresses? For that alone he deserves his reputation.

It should come as no surprise, then that his company is still moving on despite the loss and making some big waves in the meantime. As both a marketing campaign and a tribute to the man himself, the YSL fashion house is doing something big with its fall line.

The manifesto is the brainchild of designer Stefano Pilato and features one of San Laurent's favorite models, Naomi Campbell. They teamed with famed fashion photogs Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin to take the pictures of the troubled but also iconic model.

The booklet that was made from their collaboration will be distributed on the streets of Paris, New York, London, Milan, Tokyo and Hong Kong. A select few will also get a copy and an accompanying tote bag that is sure to become an instant collector's item and fetch quite a price amongst YSL-hungry fashionistas.
