...look, one sex, one cut or even one couture house--at least not for long. He's an American whose vision glares over one of the largest European fashion empires. As creative director of Gucci Group, he designs eight collections a year (for Gucci in London and YSL Rive Gauche in Paris), plus their cash cows, the accessories, shuttling between the two ateliers on the Eurostar. He also oversees the design of new stores and the ad campaigns for all the group's beauty and fashion labels, which include YSL Beaute, Bottega Veneta, Boucheron and Sergio Rossi. There...
...ideas went down much better in the relaxed atmosphere of the 1960s - creations like the Mondrian dress and the Le Smoking jacket became style icons. Saint Laurent became part of the jet set, socializing with Catherine Deneuve and Andy Warhol. Enthralled with youth culture, he opened Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche, a store of less expensive ready-to-wear, on the hip left bank.

However, his luminous, magical photos, exhibited at the Newton Free Library, do manage to capture an encounter with Paris that is beyond picturesque...
...subject is named (just try rhyming this!) Niroshi; and the tune must be a rock love ballad. Yet panelist Brad Sherwood hardly breaks a sweat as he quick-composes a plaintively catchy melody and croons lyrics made up on the spot. He'll take his beloved Niroshi to "the Rive Gau-shi," where they'll "cook some brio-shi," and across "the Pacific O-shi" to "put on some suntan lo-shi." Finally, he snuggles up "so clo-shi," to sing, "Niroshi, I love yoo-oo-ou." An instant golden oldie, written and performed in two minutes flat...
