Friends scatter Yves Saint Laurent's ashes in Morocco
2008-06-12
The ashes of famed French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent were scattered in the garden of his Marrakesh villa in a private ceremony Wednesday (June 11th). The designer was born in Algeria but spent a large part of his life in Morocco. He and his partner Pierre Berge bought the unique Majorelle Gardens, a popular tourist attraction, back in 1980. "He will stay there in a country that influenced and marked him greatly. He will end up in the Maghreb where he was born," Berge said at his funeral in Paris last week. Yves Saint Laurent died June 1st of a brain tumour at the age of 71.
