Yves Saint Laurent R.I.P. Vintage Couture by Medavog

Part 14 Video tribute #1
This is part 1 of many videos where I will showcase my vintage couture collection of YSL. Fashion icon Yves Saint Laurent ddied today Sunday night at the age of 71. To me he was not only one of the best fashion designers of the 1960s but also an incredible man with such style and Elegance. He was also an innovative designer, was an institution for decades in the world of high fashion. He was regarded as last member of elite Chanel & Christian Dior/Balenciaga generation.
QUOTE FROM A PRESS RELEASE!
"Francisco Medavogs collection started off as a small sampling of some European couture designs to help him study FASHION design. By looking at the French seams and other intricacies, he learned about couture construction through the true masters of design. This hobby quickly became a collection of more than 25,000 fashion items, primarily 20th century European designs, with a number of them extending back to the 1920s and 30s.
"At first, I didn't quite understand why so many people were interested in seeing these clothes," says Francisco. "For me, the clothes were simply great examples of what I was able to study while at the Fashion Institute. Now, I feel that my collection is the beginning of a wonderful museum collection."
"I'd love to open the first American Fashion Museum, devoted solely to fashion and couture, similar to Zandra Rhodes' museum in London."
