VIDAL SASSOON DEAD-84

Vidal Sassoon
"Famed hair stylist and fashion icon Vidal Sassoon died after a long illness, and the Los Angeles County coroner's office has plans for an autopsy.
Law enforcement sources did not disclose the nature of the illness, but numerous media organizations have been reporting for some time that Sassoon, 84, was battling leukemia. The sources said he died at his Mulholland Drive estate and that his doctors will make final death notifications..."

In "ROSEMARY'S BABY" one of my favorite interchanges is:
Guy Woodhouse: What the hell is that?
Rosemary Woodhouse: I've been to Vidal Sassoon.
Guy Woodhouse: You mean you actually paid for it?"

She was stating what everyone wanted, a cut from the master, the legend, VIDAL SASSOON. Sassoon set the standard in London and America followed suit in droves , anything with the brand SASSOON meant quality, chic and "cutting" edge (of course that was before he sold his brand  to sharks who then destroyed it).

The last documentary I really enjoyed was the 2010 "VIDAL SASSOON: THE MOVIE" (if you have not seen it, run and rent it). I was hoping Mr. Sassoon would one day sign the poster I have of it for me; regretfully, that will never happen.

Rest In Peace Mr. Class, Mr. Trendsetter...You brought beauty, style and happiness to many.

THANK YOU!
