I don't like it. If I were the real Yves Saint Laurent, I would be bothered by a tribute such as this...

Considering Yves was at the forefront of using Black models makes this tribute especially annoying. Mr. Laurent must be turning in his grave.

>> The August 2008 issue of Vogue Paris is dedicated to Yves Saint Laurent, and likewise, the editors at Vogue Italia had their own August 2008 YSL tribute in mind.  The follow up to the hugely successful July "Black Issue" features Karen Elson, Linda Evangelista, Guinevere van Seenus, and Iris Strubegger in a funereal Steven Meisel cover story, "Silent." In one picture, a huge headstone features the name "Black," strangely implying that "black is dead."  I wonder if the message was purposeful?  A strange choice to follow up the celebratory nature of July's issue, especially considering that there are no black models in this editorial . . .
