This is a school project in which we were supposed to create

a double-page spread campaign about jewelry. Here is mine!

I wanted to create a dark tale, something both arabic and aquatic.

I hope you will like it guys! This is such an out-of-body experience

to photograph the exact thing you've been thinking about for the

last 4 months. It kind of felt like giving birth actually. I loved it!

  

Model is Amelle.

From now on # I will host "Lot No.402_".

 

The work of Leonardo da Vinci who was sleeping.

That is the number when it was put up for auction.

No sign was written on the work.

So this work couldn't conclude that it was his work.

However # as a result of various appraisals # it was exposed to the sun.

A work that no one notices. A work that speaks quietly without a title.

I will continue to strive to provide it to many people in various ways.

Main story

 

There are two reasons why a person faces the sea.

One # to enjoy a slice of shine in the sea like children bubbling over in the beach.

The other # to brush the dust of memory like an old man who misses old days # staring at the shine

quietly.

Those lead to only one meaning though they do not seem to overlap. It’s a rebirth.

I face myself to change tomorrow # a vague day into something certain.

That is the meaning of a rebirth.

I had a very sweet girlfriend when I was 18.

After she left # I knew the meaning of gentleness for the first time and also a true pain of loss. After

she left # how many times did I depend too much on her # doubt her # envy her and keep on telling lies

until I realized it is love?

I wonder whether a nobody like me could have given something to her who was struggling in the

daily life in those days. Giving something is arrogant conceit. It is nothing but self-satisfaction.

I had been thinking about such a thing.

However # I guess what she saw in me was because I had nothing. That‘s why she tried to see

something in me. Perhaps she found a slight possibility in me # a guy filled with ambiguous # unstable

tomorrow. But I wasted days depending too much on her gentleness.

Now I finally can convey how I felt in those days when we met.

1 Photo exhibition up to that point. Did you want to go?

 

2 Well # what is an exhibition that you want to visit even if you go there?

 

3 Challenge to exhibit one work every month before opening a solo exhibition at the Harajuku Design Festa.

 

4 works are materials and silhouettes. Similar to fashion.

 

5 Who is your favorite artist? What is it? Make it clear.

 

6 Creating a collage is exactly the same as taking photos. As I wrote in the interview # it is the same as writing a novel.

 

7 I want to show it to someone # but I do not make a piece to show it. Aim for the work you want to decorate your own room as in the photo.

 

8 What is copycat? Nowadays # it is suspected to be beaten. There is something called Mimesis?

Today's photo.

It is a photo taken from Eurostar.

 

This video is an explanation.

 

I went to Milan in 2005.

At that time # I went from Milan to Venice.

We took Eurostar into the transportation.

 

This photo was not taken from a very fast Eurostar.

When I changed the track # I took a picture at the moment I slowed down.

  

Is there a Japanese beside you?

Please have my video translated.

今後、僕は、” Lot No.402_ ”を主催します。

 

このロットナンバーは、眠っていたレオナルドダヴィンチの作品がオークションにかけらた際に付されたものです。

作品にはサインなどがいっさい記されていなかったため、彼の作品だと断定できませんでした。

しかし、様々な鑑定の結果、陽の光を浴びました。

誰にも気づかれない作品。肩書がなくとも静かに語りかける作品。

僕はこれから様々な形で、多くの皆様に提供できるよう努めてゆきます。

 あらすじ

 大学を目指している北見ケイは、SNS上で、6歳年上のイベントコンパニオン、上村香織に出会う。

 上京してきた香織の夢は、有名なアーティストの友達になるためだ。

 そのためにはラジオ局のプロデューサー、大沢亮の存在が必要だった。

 大沢は、ラジオの生放送中、香織へ語りかける。

 「僕には妻子がある。しかし、僕は君に会いたいと思っている」

 ケイの同級生で、彼を想っている三條里香は、香織の動向を探っていた。。。。。

  

本編

 

人が海へ向かう理由には、二つある。

 ひとつは、波打ち際ではしゃぐ子供のように、今の瞬間の海の輝きを楽しむこと。

 もうひとつは、その輝きを静かに見据えて、過ぎ去った日々を懐かしむ老人のように記憶の埃を払うこと。

 二つは重なり合わないようではあるけれども、たったひとつの意味しか生まない。

 再生だ。

 明日っていう、曖昧な日を確実なものへと変えてゆくために、自分の存在に向き合う。

 それが再生の意味だ。

 

 十八歳だった僕には大切な人がいた。

このロットナンバーは、眠っていたレオナルドダヴィンチの作品がオークションにかけらた際に付されたものです。

作品にはサインなどがいっさい記されていなかったため、彼の作品だと断定できませんでした。

しかし、様々な鑑定の結果、陽の光を浴びました。

誰にも気づかれない作品。肩書がなくとも静かに語りかける作品。

僕はこれから様々な形で、多くの皆様に提供できるよう努めてゆきます。

Something new for 2023...Sound & Vision on SoundCloud - more memories from a mis-spent youth 😎

During the summer of 1987, I spent a week chasing after Class 50s, known by many enthusiasts as 'Hoovers', in the south-west of England. I made a number of tape recordings at the time, mostly from the front window, with my trusty ghetto-blaster in hand - and now these recordings can finally be heard :)

 

In this photo, we 'feel the breeze' hanging out of the front window behind 50014 'Warspite' in the morning sunshine - after departing Teignmouth and skirting the Devon coast with 2C40 all stations Plymouth-Exeter. New for 2023 - you can experience the audio magic of a Class 50 at 'full throttle' - follow this link soundcloud.com/sound-vision-10193594/50014-2c40-teignmout... to hear 50014 'Warspite' in action on 2C40 storming out of Teignmouth, leaving Dawlish Warren, and after arrival at Exeter St. David's, departing light engine. 50004 and 50038 also appear on this recording

 

and for more Sounds of the 80s go here: soundcloud.com/sound-vision-10193594

 

50014 'Warspite' was one of the earliest casualties, succumbing in December 1987 - only the third member of the class to be withdrawn after 50011 'Centurion', and 50006 'Neptune' - RIP.

Nuova collaborazione tra me e i GEMIX.

 

Qui il video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tn0Z7lqGIRE&feature=youtu.be

 

GEMIX ( soundcloud.com/gemixofficial ) nasce da due fratelli di Como, Federico e Riccardo Curcio, che amano la musica elettronica in tutti i suoi generi, in particolare Future Bass, Trap e Dubstep.

 

Il video con animazioni grafiche che ho realizzato per loro,ha come colonna sonora,il pezzo intitolato Street (Original Mix) inedito fino a questo momento.

 

Sto già lavorando ad altri video grafici e non,in collaborazione coi due fratelli Curcio. Anche loro presto,apriranno un canale You Tube ma,per ora,chi volesse ascoltare le loro creazioni,può trovarli su SOUNCLOUD.

 

Per rimanere aggiornati,rimanete sintonizzati.

Class 40 Indian Summer - Pennines

Seen in the great 'Indian Summer' of 1984, 40135 was the second Class 40 to go over the Pennines on summer Saturday 21st July 1984, following on the heels of equally mighty 40013 'Andania' :) Although flagging the second chance of a Class 40 to Scarborough in the hope of something rarer turning up at York, I ended up taking 40135 on the return working 1M79 from Leeds to Liverpool. I took a quick photo opportunity as we stopped at Stalybridge, after crossing the Pennines - probably a driver change here?

 

A smart looking well preserved long-life Class 104 B.R.C.&W. DMU rests between duties in the bay platform - Buxton unit BX481. The evening sunshine plays on the nose of the EE Type 4, and highlights the missing horn grille - these were made of solid brass and became quite collectable in the Class 40's later years (I have one from pilot batch loco 40004 :)) The 'young lad' clad in denim is the youthful Schwartz751119 who was also taking the photo opportunity!

 

Now LIVE on Sound & Vision on SoundCloud - more memories from a mis-spent youth 😎

During the 1980s, whilst travelling around the British Rail network, I made a number of tape recordings to capture the railway scene of the time, many from the front window, some from the platform, using my trusty ghetto-blaster - and now these recordings can finally be heard :)

 

And this working features - visit the track here: soundcloud.com/sound-vision-10193594/the-class-40-indian-...

 

Split Box 40s 40125 - 40144 only these 20 Class 40s were built with the two split head code boxes either side of the connecting doors. Only five of them survived into 1984, with infamous 'Great Train Robbery' 40126 succumbing in Feb 84 following on the heels of 40133 in Jan 84. This just left 40129 which was withdrawn in May 84, and then all the way through to the end in Jan 85 were survivors 40135 (since preserved) and 40143 which was scrapped at Crewe Works.

Between 1982 and 1984 I spent many happy hours with my friends chasing around the North of England after the remaining Class 40s. At the beginning of 1984, there were still 50 members of the fleet in service, but this had already reduced down to 33 by the time I had 40135 towards the end of July. Two more fine locos 40001 & 40057 were withdrawn the very next day (22 Jul). By the end of the summer timetable, just 25 remained in service, and only 17 of the class survived into 1985, all but 3 being withdrawn over the weekend of 21st/22nd Jan 1985.

 

D200/40122, 40118 and 40012 were kept on just for rail tours, although D200 had a second Indian summer :)

 

My interest in the railways waned permanently with the demise of the Class 50s, initially from the Paddington-Oxford route in 1990, and finally when they retired from the Waterloo-Exeter services in 1992.

 

As well as enjoying the thrash, I managed to record many of the trips and railway scenes encountered on film for posterity. Those days are now long gone, but happily the photos remain for me to reminisce over and share. ;)

Choppers to Skeggy 😎:)

Between 1982 and 1984 I spent many happy hours with my friends chasing around the North of England after the remaining Class 40s. In between times, we did of course go bashing other quality classes, and the pairs of Class 20s that used to be employed on Summer Saturday workings from the Midlands to Skegness were always a riot!

 

***UPDATE - NOW HEAR THEM ON SOUNDCLOUD WITH A FEW OTHER TYPE 1s and TYPE 2s***

soundcloud.com/sound-vision-10193594/br-type-1s-type-2s-u...

 

As seen here, there were often three separate workings from Leicester, Derby and Nottingham, making it quite a game to try and scratch all three pairs on the day :) Also in view, one of the local Lincoln based Class 114 Derby 'Heavyweight' DMUs.

 

'A day in the life' - log book update:

Sunday 31st July 1983 - three pairs of Class 20s were enjoyed on trains between derby, Nottingham and Skegness :)

20160 + 20180 - we had from Nottingham - Boston for

20163 + 20172 - from Boston - Skegness + cab ride in 20172 on the shunt-release! for

20159 + 20190 - our train back to Derby - seen on the left

 

My interest in the railways waned permanently with the demise of the Class 50s, initially from the Paddington-Oxford route in 1990, and finally when they retired from the Waterloo-Exeter services in 1992.

 

As well as enjoying the thrash, I managed to record many of the trips and railway scenes encountered on film for posterity. Those days are now long gone, but happily the photos remain for me to reminisce over and share. ;)

 

Photos that were nearly lost to oblivion!

The original slide was rescued from a box of 'duds' that I could never quite bring myself to throw away - now I am glad that I kept them ;)

One of the pencil illustrations I recently made in Tenerife, Spain. You can view the sketch in progress here.

 

I also wrote the text in the drawing, which is saying:

 

"Dear friend, I'm writing to tell you that I recently discovered a sunny island called Tenerife. A rocky island that only exists thanks to Teide, a huge volcano. This is a beautiful black sand island surrounded by deep blue seas. A unique place that attracts curious people, lovers and families from everywhere around the world, thanks to its perfect climate and thanks to all the facilities it offers to millions of visitors every year.

 

This is an island people usually visit to relax but you can also find many secret treasures. This magic place welcomes the people willing to recharge their batteries but also the wild adventurers who prefer to live intense moments and admire Mother Nature from a different perspective. There are small traditional villages everywhere in Tenerife. There are also big cities with futuristic buildings and monuments where the local workers meet the people who party all night...

 

If you travel there, you might have the great chance to walk in the mountains or in the forests, to enjoy the sun and the beaches, to swim with dolphins or even turtles, to do some surf or any other aquatic sports, to eat some typical food or drink local wines, to meet friendly people, to find countless hidden treasures, to party all night with good people and with good music...

 

Whatever you decide to do in Tenerife and whatever happens to you during your trip, you will not be the same person anymore upon your return. This island will give you so much energy and good vibrations that you might choose to move there permanently, bring your whole family and start living a new life, a better life... And when you will have seen everything, if you ever manage to do so, then you might consider discovering the other Canary Islands, all of them are connected by regular domestic flights or by ferry.

 

El Hierro is the smallest of the 7 major islands. Fuerteventura is the most ancient Island and the most eroded one. Gran Canaria offers amazing landscapes and is famous for its dunes. La Gomera is also one of the oldest islands of the archipelago. Lanzarote is known for its special colors and architecture highly influenced by Cesar Manrique. La Palma is an entire biosphere and the second highest island of the Canaries... Dear Traveller, all I'm saying is that it is worth visiting Tenerife. This is why I am sitting here in this sketch!"

Enjoying the Class 40 Indian Summer

In the middle of August 1984, during the 'Indian summer' of the Class 40s, I took the opportunity for an endurance test of four overnights with little or no sleep - spent on trains, or trying to doss down in Preston station's waiting room!

 

After enjoying the delights of three Class 40s on the Saturday (11th Aug) - 40150 from Preston to Ulverston, 40099 from Carlisle to Leeds via the S&C, and 40091 on the Skeg from Retford to Man Picc - the morning of Sunday 12th Aug brought another of the Class into sight, with ex-LMR namer 40013 'Andania' being rostered to work 1M71 - the 07.55 York-Holyhead which had the added delights of being diverted via a run-round at Wigan NW due to engineering :)

 

I captured the loco here again at Chester - after alighting!!! A big mistake in retrospect :(

Despite the front coach being a BG for parcels, there is no shortage of enthusiastic bashers who have invaded the coach :)

Note the demolition job being carried out over on the island platform!

 

Now LIVE on Sound & Vision on SoundCloud - more memories from a mis-spent youth 😎

During the 1980s, whilst travelling around the British Rail network, I made a number of tape recordings to capture the railway scene of the time, many from the front window, some from the platform, using my trusty ghetto-blaster - and now these recordings can finally be heard :)

No more 40s were enjoyed that day, so it seems crazy now that I got off the train at Chester - I believe not wanting to get 'stranded' at Holyhead for hours on a Sunday - or it may have been lack of validity?

40013 worked back on 1E22 Holyhead-York.

 

Between 1982 and 1984 I spent many happy hours with my friends chasing around the North of England after the remaining Class 40s. At the beginning of 1984, there were still 50 members of the fleet in service, but this had already reduced down to 31 by the time I had 40013 in mid-August. By the end of the summer timetable, just 25 remained in service, and only 17 of the class survived into 1985, all but 3 being withdrawn over the weekend of 21st/22nd Jan 1985.

 

D200/40122, 40118 and 40012 were kept on just for rail tours, although D200 had a second Indian summer :)

 

Locomotive History

D213 / 40013 'Andania' was built by the English Electric Company at their Vulcan Foundry Works, Newton-Le-Willows, Lancashire and entered service as D213 on the 6th June 1959, allocated initially to Willesden MPD before almost immediately being transferred to Carlisle Upperby. Future transfers would see D213 allocated to Camden (August 1960), Crewe North (November 1961), London Midland Western Lines (April 1966), Longsight (June 1968, August 1973, May 1984), Springs Branch (June 1972, October 1980), Kingmoor (May 1973) and Crewe (October 1982).

 

In May 1962, D213 was named 'Andania', the nameplates being fitted at Crewe works during a classified repair. In July 1971 it was outshopped from Crewe works after a classified repair which included fitting train air brakes and a repaint into corporate blue livery. 40013 was one of the last ten class 40’s to receive a works classified repair and was released from Crewe works in October 1980. In September 1982 it was suffering from bogie faults, however it escaped withdrawal and was sent to Stratford for a complete bogie swap and was back in traffic by the 28th September 1982. The locomotive survived almost until the end, being withdrawn on 18th October 1984. However, due to a shortage of motive power, it was reinstated to traffic twelve days later on the 30th October, and survived until 11th January 1985, when it was officially withdrawn again from traffic with power unit faults.

 

Shortly after withdrawal, 40013 moved from Crewe to Bescot to replace 40063 as an exhibition locomotive. 40013 appeared at exhibitions at Redditch, Shrewsbury, Blackburn, Southport and Leamington Spa during 1985, Kidderminster, Stourbridge Junction, Worcester, Aberystwyth, Rugby and Wrexham during 1986, Shrewsbury and Basingstoke during 1987.

 

On the 3rd February 1988, the loco was dragged from Tyseley to Crewe by 47497 to become a donor locomotive for 40122. The wheelsets where exchanged between the locomotives and 40013, now with scrap wheelsets, was towed to Vic Berry's scrapyard, Leicester, on the 10/11th May 1988. Fortunately, this was not the end for 40013, as it was sold into preservation, moving first to Meadowhall in 1989, the Midland Railway Centre in 1999, and to Barrow Hill in 2003 where it remained for may years. The loco has now been approved for mainline working again - see my video in Comments section below :)

The Named Class 40s

Locomotives in the range D210–D235 were to be named after ships operated by the companies Cunard Line, Elder Dempster Lines, and Canadian Pacific steamships, as they hauled express trains to Liverpool, the home port of these companies. The only locomotive not to carry a name was D226 which was to carry the name 'Media' but never did so. From approximately 1970, with Class 40s no longer working these trains, the nameplates were gradually removed, so that by 1973 contributors to Railway World were reporting 7 different locomotives running without nameplates, all observed in North Wales. However the Ian Allan Motive Power Combined Volume (a list of all operational locomotives published annually for enthusiasts) was still listing the names of all officially named Class 40 locomotives in 1980 despite none having carried their nameplates for many years.

 

Preserved Class 40s

Of the seven class 40's to be preserved, all except for 40118 have run in preservation and three have run on the main line in preservation, these being D200 (40122), D213 (40013) and D345 (40145). As of 2018 D213 & D345 are operational on the main line.

 

One of them, No. 40013 Andania was rescued from Vic Berry's Scrapyard in 1987. More on the Class 40s here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_40

 

My interest in the railways waned permanently with the demise of the Class 50s, initially from the Paddington-Oxford route in 1990, and finally when they retired from the Waterloo-Exeter services in 1992.

 

As well as enjoying the thrash, I managed to record many of the trips and railway scenes encountered on film for posterity. Those days are now long gone, but happily the photos remain for me to reminisce over and share. ;)

90 mins

Was all it took to do this sheet on Mayday.

 

It was meant as an act of encouragment..

to show how easily things can be done.

Anyway: herewith a link to the song that most Junior Citizens (as well as anyone young at heart) in the world may well like to sing to.

*And not seeing the point of denying them the possible pleasure either. Or for them to join in the project and do something similar as above,

And then proudly showing the result to the world.

  

A little mix that Joey Patino of Sealions cooked up to accompany Sealions' new EP Number One Lover. It's mostly comprised of his favorite mid-tempo dance numbers and jams that he's been playing in sets since the inception of Sealions. You'll hear some acts that certainly shaped and influenced our sound as well some odd-ball stuff that he enjoys, and if you click through he explains each song further.

 

SO ROMANTIC Mixtape also features two brand new remixes of "Diamonds" & "Setting Suns" from Number One Lover. Thanks for listening!

 

And don't forget Number One Lover is available on vinyl, cassette tape, CD, and digital formats.

Class 40 Indian Summer - 2J38

Every day for a week during August 1984, the 19.35 evening DMU working between Blackpool North and Manchester Victoria was replaced with a Class 40 and Mark 1s. The workings were an absolute riot as it was all stations and plenty of thrash. I had two runs behine 40160 that week - here she is looking nice and oily shortly before departure from Blackpool.

Locomotive History

D360 / 40160

D360 was built by English Electric at their Vulcan Foundry works and entered service in September 1961, allocated to Haymarket MPD. It had the final variation of nose design featuring a central four-digit headcode panel and no gangway doors, giving a much neater appearance. It was one of a batch of class 40’s (D358-D368) which would always be associated with Haymarket MPD, being used on passenger, parcels and express freight duties from Edinburgh to Newcastle, Carlisle, Inverness and Aberdeen.

 

Eventually displaced in Scotland it transferred to the north west for freight and summer secondary passenger duties circa 1981, and after a total career of just over twenty three years (and nearly six years after its last classified repair at Crewe works in January 1979) it was withdrawn on the 26th November 1984 with power unit defects. It would survive for over another two years until broken up at Crewe works in February 1987. This detailed history courtesy of John Woolley Photos

 

My interest in the railways waned permanently with the demise of the Class 50s, initially from the Paddington-Oxford route in 1990, and finally when they retired from the Waterloo-Exeter services in 1992.

 

As well as enjoying the thrash, I managed to record many of the trips and railway scenes encountered on film for posterity. Those days are now long gone, but happily the photos remain for me to reminisce over and share. ;)

Travelling the railway in the British Rail era - or Memories of a mis-spent youth 😎

Between 1983 and 1991 I spent many happy hours with my friends riding the rails around the UK. Fortunately, I managed to record many of the railway locos and scenes encountered on film for posterity. Those days are now long gone, but happily the photos remain for me to reminisce over and share ;)

 

Bowled for a 40 - this was the only occasion I had a pair of 'Rats' over the S & C! 25213 + 25054 pause at Appleby station on 1E23 10.40 Carlisle - Leeds in the summer of 1984. Yours truly was on for the ride. Happy days on the Settle & Carlisle railway. As the last few passengers board the train, and a couple of bashers look on, the driver looks anxious to hit the road! I am risking missing my ride to get a photo :)

 

As with many locos at the time, 25213 shows signs of some 'battle-damage' :)

La terra ♫ (Odt Oddity)

 

Mi è già successo, sarà una cosa banale, ma è sempre una sorpresa. Mettere un rullino in una macchina d'epoca e, dopo averlo sviluppato, vedere alcune immagini che sembrano d'epoca anch'esse.

E' una questione di tipologia e di lenti, certo, per di più rese ancora meno nitide e incise dal tempo, passato più di un secolo da quando sono state montate nella fotocamera.

Chissà chi era l'operaio che dall'altra parte dell'oceano, in America, le ha montate nei primi anni del 1900 in questa vecchia Kodak. Chissà se col suo stipendio poteva permettersi di comprare le fotocamere che costruiva, e se esiste una sua foto. Chissà chi è stato ad acquistarla, e che fotografie ci ha fatto. Forse le prime erano di una New York ancora senza i grattacieli, con i cavalli per le strade, le poche automobili che ancora somigliavano di più alle vecchie carrozze.

E chissà da quanto questa fotocamera non scattava una foto. Dentro c'è un pezzo di carta ripiegata e ingiallita, messa per tenere meglio fermo il rocchetto con il film non ancora esposto, che altrimenti si muove un po' troppo. Non ho ancora avuto il coraggio di toglierla e dispiegarla - temendo di romperla - per vedere se c'è scritto qualcosa.

Chissà, forse è proprio questione di lenti. O forse, rimasta chiusa in un cassetto, questa vecchia Kodak non sa che è passato un secolo e produce immagini che sembrerebbero scattate cento anni fa.

Così ha fatto per questo panorama del sud Sardegna con le rovine del castello del Conte Ugolino (sì, quello dell'Inferno di Dante e del “fiero pasto”) che, se non fosse per la casa di cemento che si intravede tra gli alberi, avrei pensato fosse davvero una veduta della fine '800 inizi '900.

Yves Saint Laurent: The man who changed the way women dress forever

 

By Lisa Adams

 

He was the king of cutting-edge couture who, by rewriting the rules of fashion, changed forever the way women dress.

 

Talented, controversial but always cool, Yves Saint Laurent was the last great designer from a generation which made Paris the fashion capital of the world.

 

With 20th century gurus Christian Dior and Coco Chanel gone, fashionistas could still believe in the power of style through YSL.

 

His death on Sunday aged 71, following a year-long fight against brain cancer, marks the end of an era.

 

However, his legacy lives on - as the French president revealed in a glowing tribute yesterday.

 

Nicolas Sarkozy said: "One of the greatest names in fashion has disappeared.

 

"Yves Saint Laurent was the first to elevate haute couture to the rank of art, and that gave him global influence.

 

"He infused his label with his creative genius, elegant and refined personality - discrete and distinguished during a half-century of work in both luxury and ready-to-wear - because he was convinced beauty was a necessary luxury for all men and all women."

 

Pierre Berge described his former lover and business partner - the first designer to put women in trousers - as a "true creator" who had empowered women.

 

He said: "Chanel gave women freedom but Saint Laurent gave them power.

 

"He was a libertarian, anarchic, and he threw bombs at the legs of society."

 

It's a spark which brought us the ultra elegant tuxedo smoking jacket.

 

When that hit the catwalks in 1966, it transformed the way ordinary women dressed for the evening.

 

Worn together with sharply tailored trousers, it offered a modern alternative to the formal evening dress, rapidly becoming a wardrobe staple for women.

 

The tuxedo has been updated for every collection since then, with supermodel Kate Moss looking effortlessly cool in this season's Le Smoking jacket.

 

Saint Laurent's label was worth £45million when he sold it to Gucci in 1999 and the most beautiful women on the planet have long clamoured to wear his clothes.

 

He created Bianca Jagger's iconic white wedding suit as well as dressing stars including Catherine Deneuve, Paloma Picasso and Lauren Bacall.

 

Supermodel Naomi Campbell said she was blessed to be working for YSL while her colleagues Claudia Schiffer and Carla Bruni hailed him as the most influential designer of his time on his retirement in 2002.

 

He could only have dreamed about such recognition growing up as a shy boy with a passion for drawing, in Oran, Algeria.

 

Born the son of a shipping executive on August 1, 1936, the fiercely ambitious Saint Laurent shied away from his

conventional home life to dream of cocktail dresses.

 

Taunted for being gay, he took refuge in his fascination for clothes.

 

After escaping to the bright lights of Paris aged 17, Saint Laurent finally discovered people who truly believed in his talents.

 

He won his place at the prestigious Chambre Syndicale school of haute couture after monopolising a contest sponsored by the International Wool Secretariat.

 

He had scooped three out of four of the categories - the fourth went to Karl Lagerfeld, now at Chanel.

 

Months later, in 1954, he was introduced to a man who would change his life, Christian Dior.

 

Dior was so impressed he hired him on the spot. Aged 21, when most designers are starting out, Saint Laurent was named head of the fashion house after Dior died suddenly.

 

But four years later, just as his career was really taking off, he was conscripted in to the French army during the Algerian War of Independence.

 

Already physically frail, his time in service was a horror which haunted the rest of his life.

 

He suffered a nervous breakdown and endured months of electroshock therapy in a psychiatric unit.

 

It cost him his chance at Dior but, as he slowly recovered, Saint Laurent bravely started his own label, YSL.

 

His Rive Gauche boutiques for women were established in 1966, and Le Smoking jacket secured his stardom.

 

His creation of sleek trouser suits for women perfectly captured the "equality of the sexes" spirit of the era.

 

His Beatnik chic - a black leather jacket, turtleneck and high boots - was also bang on trend.

 

Always striking, Saint Laurent saw it as vital to create clothes which women felt comfortable wearing.

 

His safari-style trouser suits in khaki cotton were instant hits in his Rive Gauche ready-to-wear boutiques in London and Paris.

 

The navy blue pea coat over white pants - debuted in 1962 - was also one of his hallmarks.

 

He said: "I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant.

 

"They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes."

 

Saint Laurent's strength lay in never being afraid to be different.

 

He was ahead of his time, the first designer to challenge the blue-eyed, blonde-haired idea of perfection by hiring black models for his shows.

 

The trouser suits he so fervently believed in quickly triggered controversy away from the catwalk.

 

Women wearing them were turned away from hotels and restaurants in London and New York.

 

His see-through blouses, which showed off women's breasts, were next to cause outrage.

 

But his vision for fashion stretched beyond the cut of the clothes.

 

He said: "Fashion is not only supposed to make women beautiful, but to reassure them, to give them confidence, to allow them to come to terms with themselves".

 

Saint Laurent was never afraid to shock the public.

 

He posed nude in the advertising campaign for Pour Homme, the first YSL men's fragrance.

 

Then his launch in the mid-Seventies of a perfume called Opium brought accusations that he was condoning drug use.

 

Drugs - as well as depression and intense loneliness - were a problem for him away from the bright lights and air kisses of the fashion world.

 

Saint Laurent said: "I've known fear and terrible solitude, tranquillisers and drugs - those phoney friends - the prison of depression and hospitals.

 

"I've emerged from all this, dazzled but sober."

 

Despite that loneliness, he created a timeless template for women's fashion.

 

One of today's hottest designers, Marc Jacobs, admits looking to YSL's Seventies glory years for inspiration.

 

And Dame of British fashion, Vivienne Westwood, yesterday described YSL as "one of the great couturiers, one of the few who have achieved perfection with everything they touched."

 

In today's brave new world of fast fashion, froth and window dressing, few achieve that.

 

He will be missed.

Obituary: Yves Saint Laurent (BBC)

 

Yves Saint Laurent changed the face of the fashion industry when he became chief designer of the House of Dior at the age of 21.

 

His creations adorned some of the world's most famous women; he counted Catherine Deneuve, Paloma Picasso and Princess Grace of Monaco among his most ardent admirers.

 

But so much too of what ordinary women wear today has been influenced by Saint Laurent.

 

He designed clothes that reflected women's changing role in society; more confident personally, sexually and in the work-place.

 

Yves Saint Laurent was born in Algeria, on 1st August 1936. Although his parents were wealthy (his father owned a chain of cinemas), French Algerians were often looked down upon by people in mainland France.

 

The young Yves had an unhappy childhood. Because of his homosexuality, he said, he was bullied and generally ill-treated at school.

 

His mother brought him to Paris and he joined the House of Dior in 1954, and such was his impact that he became chief designer when Christian Dior died three years later.

 

There followed a period of unremitting success. He was credited with introducing short skirts and leather jackets to the world of haute couture in 1960.

 

But later that same year his world and career collapsed. He was conscripted into the French Army at the height of the Algerian war, and suffered a nervous breakdown.

 

After three months in hospital he was discharged from the Army as medically unfit. But his return to the House of Dior was short-lived - he left almost immediately amid rumours that he had been dismissed.

 

He denied this, and claimed that he had resigned because the fashion house wanted him to work in London.

 

A lean period followed, but he made a comeback designing costumes for Zizi Jeanmaire, the French cabaret artiste. His love of the theatre led to many more triumphs as a set and costume designer.

In 1962, with his business and personal partner, Pierre Berge, he founded what was to become the multi-million-pound Saint Laurent fashion and perfume empire.

 

His flair re-established him as one of the world's top designers, dictating couture and ready-to-wear fashions. He brought in the safari jacket, the cape, peasant flounces and military blousons.

 

Trouser suits were almost unheard of before Yves Saint Laurent. Biker jackets, blazers and turtleneck sweaters came courtesy of him. He made women's clothes both more sexy and elegant.

 

But his personal life was less successful. The depression that ended his military career persisted - his partner, Pierre Berge, once said Saint Laurent had been born with a nervous breakdown. His ego was famously fragile.

 

In the 1970s and '80s, he retreated into excess, becoming addicted to drink and drugs. He also indulged in what he himself called "an extraordinary sex life".

 

He and Berge split romantically but remained business partners. Reclusive, Saint Laurent rarely left his Paris flat, where he lived surrounded by a massive art collection.

 

In 1999, he and Berge, having failed to find a suitable successor of their choice, sold their ready-to-wear company Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche to Gucci for $1bn after it had run into financial difficulties.
