Yves

The images presented here are from the beautiful book Yves Saint Laurent that features the entire creative collection of this master couturier.Lavish and comprehensive in scope, it also presents some little known facts ( at least to me) about Yves such as- he was born in Algeria and he was appointed successor to the house of Dior (after he passed at age 52) at the tender age of 21. He was also an intense perfectionist, of course.























Artist: Colette Calascione

I love these colorful, cheeky surreal oil paintings by San Francisco artist Colette Calascione. I'm just a sucker for anyone that is obviously inspired by the masters and yet reinterprets their work in a thoroughly modern and unique way, just the way Colette has.
