Guardian Unlimited Shopping Clothes. Yves Saint Laurent says adieu to couture While Saint Laurent's career has been marked by bouts of self-doubt, depression and addiction appropriate to a man obsessed with Proust, he is known to have become disillusioned with the direction the YSL brand had taken under new ownership, and with the fashion industry as a whole. Saint Laurent, who was born in Algeria, came to prominence in 1958, when, aged 21, he took over as head of Christian Dior following Dior's death.In the next two decades he revolutionised women's fashion, pioneering mini dresses, the trouser suit and le smoking, the square shoul dered tuxedo for women. Saint Laurent appears determined to retain control over his legacy, and the timing of his departure has been as well choreographed as one of his bi-annual shows. shopping.guardian.co.uk /clothes/story/0,1586,629484,00.html   (858 words)

Saint Lawrence Valley Prehistory — the last 25 years (1975-2000) The Saint Lawrence River is here considered as a highway taken by Plano groups but we don’t know if this migration was an early one (between 10,000 and 9,000 BP) or a late one (between 9,000 and 8,000 BP). As a final remark, the archaeology of the last 25 years in the Saint Lawrence Valley is characterized by a steady increase of knowledge and by instability in institutional and government involvement. However, the Saint Lawrence River started to act as a highway permitting the circulation of ideas, objects and groups, giving to its inhabitants a relative cultural homogeneity and a participation in networks at the scale of the Northeast. www.mcc.gouv.qc.ca /pamu/champs/archeo/archisto/chapdelaine.htm   (2380 words)

TIME: All About Yves As odd a combination as it seemed--300 models parading in front of bewildered football fans--the show was just another example of what Saint Laurent has done for 40 years: bringing together the male and female, the high culture and the pop culture, "the shock of the two worlds," as Berge puts it. Another enduring image of Saint Laurent: making his customary walk down the runway at the end of the show, he seemed genuinely moved by the standing ovation from an audience that included actress Catherine Deneuve and designer Jean Paul Gaultier. If the World Cup show celebrated the scope of Saint Laurent's 40 years in fashion with 300 of his most remarkable pieces, then the fall/winter couture collection presented in Paris last week managed to bottle the pure essence of Saint Laurent into 71 quintessentially elegant outfits. time.com /time/magazine/1998/int/980803/the_arts.fashion.all_abo12.html   (1423 words)
