.
when Yves Saint Laurent left his house, retiring in 2002, he read a statement saying "I had the luck at 18 to become assistant to Christian Dior, and to succeed him at 21 and to meet with success from my first collection in 1958. That will be 44 years in a few days. Above all it was Christian Dior who was my master and who was the first to reveal the secrets and mysteries of haute couture."
but is was this that stayed with me- "Marcel Proust had taught me that the splendid and pathetic family of the neurotic is the salt of the earth."
How much this said about this man's Life-his Genius.
watch L'Amour Fou, Pierre Thoretton’s hypnotic documentary about Yves Saint Laurent narrated by his partner in all things, Pierre Bergé.
it is available streaming on netflix
What an amazing love and partnership they had!! One stimulating the other to greatness, Thank you. Mary

ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the documentaries about Valentino and Karl Lagerfeld. Can't wait to find a couple of quiet hours for learning more about Yves. A genius indeed.
