Lee Radziwill is a true fashion icon. She is a mother, sister, cousin, author, actress, model and inspiration. She lived through many public tragedies, yet always remained graceful, with a palpable sense of optimism. Lee had this to say about Yves Saint Laurent in 1962:

Q: You're looking for simple things?
A:That's right.

Q:People say Yves Saint Laurent isn't easy to wear.
A:It's very easy to wear. I should know my suit is Saint Laurent. It's easy
to wear.

Q:Could US stores copy it?
A:Yes, But I hope not.

Q:Why's that?
A:For myself! I don't want the same suit, same dress, same coat as everyone
else.
