YVES SAINT LAURENT, YSL, THE LEGENDARY PARIS COUTURIER, IS THE SUBJECT OF TWO INTIMATE DOCUMENTARIES. YSL HIS LIFE AND TIMES includes current as well as archival interviews from the 1960s and 70s – with St. Laurent’s mother, his lover and business partner Pierre Berge, muse Loulou de la Falaise and admirer Lee Radziwill. At age 3 he advised his aunt that her dress and shoes did not work together and at 19 he began designing for Dior. In 1962 he and Berge opened their own fashion house and in 2002 they closed their custom dressmaking business. But before that moment, YSL: 5, AVENUE MARCEAU, 75116 PARIS was in the can – a record of the master examining final versions of his designs. The clothes themselves have a starring role: spectacularly beautiful, made of the most exotic and fragile materials, modeled by women whose dimensions defy reality.
