The week I arrived in Paris happened to coincide with the death of Monsieur Yves Saint Laurent.


So in the middle of moving into my apartment, and settling in to Parisian life, I popped down to the church where the funeral was being held. They closed off a good bit of Faubourg St Honoré and there was a massive crowd outside. It felt like anyone important in Paris was there, including Sarkozy and the missus, aswell as all the Fashion heads you'd expect.

His partner Pierre Bergé delivered the most moving eulogy and it was followed by a montage over which this song was played. SUCH a beautiful song!! I love Jacques Brel.

Now there's a film out chronicling their (Yves&Pierre) relationship... I hope it comes out here soon. Looks amazing.
