Tout le monde was talking about it. Well, tout le fashion monde anyway. Yves Saint Laurent was in the front row of the Christian Dior men's show last month, sandwiched between his business partner Pierre Berg* and LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault. It may not seem like a big deal-Saint Laurent used to be the designer for Christian Dior, and the designer having the show, Hedi Slimane, once worked for the Yves Saint Laurent label. But Saint Laurent never showed up at one of Slimane's shows before. In fact, Saint Laurent has reportedly attended only one other fashion...
DIED. JEAN-PIERRE AUMONT, 90, debonair French actor whose career spanned six decades and several continents; in Saint Tropez. His reel-life leading-man status translated to real-life heroism when he earned the Croix de Guerre for service in the French armed forces in 1944. An actor who performed on both the stage and silver screen--most notably as a randy swimming instructor in Lac aux Dames--Aumont was also a megastar with women.

Among other things, the saint apparently thought about sex a lot and liked to destroy orchards...
Still less is the austerity of a Minimalist work going to be seen as an affirmation of virtue, like a hair shirt on a saint. Rightly or wrongly, it is more likely to be seen as the Emperor's new clothes--a lack, a way of frustrating expectations with arid polemics about the arguable limits and nature of art itself. Between (say) the bricks, the cinder blocks and the parallel stripes on one hand and (say) the gilded statue of General Sherman on horseback at the corner of Central Park by Augustus Saint-Gaudens on the other, a vast gulf...
