Model and muse of Yves Saint Laurent, Marina Schiano, has died at age 71.
Together with Loulou de la Falaise and Betty Catroux, Schiano was best known for being one of Yves Saint Laurent’s muses.
She quickly became close to the designer and contributed to increasing the charming and glamorous halo surrounding the brand, posing for some of its most iconic imagery. These include the 1970 black-and-white photo Jeanloup Sieff took in Paris. Wearing a turban, the focus is on Schiano’s profile and on the black, lace-backed evening dress by the couturier.
“Marina Schiano will forever be linked with Yves Saint Laurent as she incarnated his ideal modern women, a working woman confident of herself within the corporate male sphere which she performed for a number of years as president of Yves Saint Laurent North America,” said Madison Cox, president of the Fondation Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent.
