"He changed couture through his art," said the Rev. Roland Letteron, speaking during the funeral service. Saint Laurent used the art of fashion "to expose the grandeur of life."
"It is more than brocade he prints on silk. It is light," Letteron said.
Designers Vivienne Westwood, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Sonia Rykiel and John Galliano were among the luminaries seen in the crowd as well as Farah Diba Pahlavi, exiled widow of the late Shah of Iran.
Saint Laurent's remains will be cremated and his ashes kept in the Majorelle botanical garden near a home in Marrakech, Morocco, that he and Pierre Berge, his friend of some 40 years and business partner, owned.
