Best of 2008: Rest In Peace

FabSugar — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 07:00:22 -0800

This year, our condolences were not only extended to people, they were also given to businesses. It was the gasp heard around the world when Yves Saint Laurent passed in June. Mr. Blackwell, the man known for his annual worst-dressed list, also left us, as did Pinup queen Bettie Page. But more shocking were the deaths of longstanding retail stores such as Mervyn's and Steve & Barry's. What's more, Bill Blass decided to close its doors and the great Valentino Gharavani retired. Let's pay homage.

Valentino bids adieu to the fashion world.
Rest In Peace Yves Saint Laurent.
Rest In Peace Mr. Blackwell.
Rest In Peace Mervyn's.

Steve & Barry's' final blow.
RIP Pinup queen Bettie Page.
The end of Bill Blass.

Alas, another legend has passed. If you're a Dita von Teese fan, make sure to pay homage to the original pinup queen, Bettie Page. She lived to be 85 and passed away yesterday in LA. She broke the rules in the '50s. She had a hand in the exploration of female sexuality, creating a liberated character in risque lingerie and skimpy bikinis - not too mention taboo toys like whips and eye masks. Here's to you, Miss Bettie.
