Yves Saint Laurent, revolutionary fashion designer, died on Sunday following a longtime illness. His funeral was held this afternoon at the Église St. Roche in Paris.
Attendees included French president Nicolas Sarkozy, his wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, actress Catherine Deneuve, designers Hubert de Givenchy, Karl Lagerfeld, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Christian Lacroix and Sonia Rykiel, as well as thousands of supporters who crowded around the church.
The ceremony was coordinated by his partner of many years Pierre Berge. Saint Laurent's body will be cremated and the ashes laid to rest at the Majorelle Gardens in Morocco. He was 71.
