| Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé in L'Amour Fou. |
Collaboration and collection
By John Esther
When Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé first met it was in October 1957 at the funeral of couturier Christian Dior. Laurent was succeeding Dior but that did not last long. What did last long was the relationship between Laurent and Bergé. Six months after their first encounter until Laurent's death on June 1, 2008, the two collaborated and collided to wonderful, dizzying heights.
Over those years the couple amassed a formidable collection of 20th century art. Now that Laurent had passed, Bergé felt it was time to sell of the collections.
Reminiscing through the ages late 20th century high fashion, art and the devotion they felt for each other during their time together, Bergé offers a behind-the-scenes look at the world behind all the glossy fashion magazines.
Capturing Bergé's tale of wonder and woe, Pierre Thoretton's documentary L'Amour Fou, plays it smart and cool.
