Elmer the elephant purse, $16 from Hudson, 229 CARLISLE ST, BALACLAVA. TEL: 9525 8066.
So long to the man responsible for everything from the iconic pantsuit to the trapeze dress. So long to the man whose vision, according to some, saved the French economy in the 1960s. So long to the only man who could wear giant geek glasses and not look like a try-hard knob. And apologies for the weak link to him with this vaguely pop art purse, not really anything to do with him but it was an unexpected death and we all need a little cheering up.
So long Yves Saint Laurent. 1936-2008
