"People with wonderful and unfortunate qualities are always outstanding." -Marcel Brewster

Brewster is the author of Remembrance of Time, and Yves Saint Laurent's favorite writer.

Yves is convinced of his talent. When he entered the clothing industry, he told his mother, "I will be an outstanding person in the end!"

Later, it was proved that he was indeed an excellent designer, but he was also dragged down by this "wonderful and unfortunate god" and was in endless darkness and confusion.

at the age of p>18, Yves made her debut in Paris.

at the age of p>21, he provoked Dior and proved his strength with his works.

At the press conference of trapezoid series, Yves met the most important person in his later life, Pierre Berge.

Pierre and Yves fell in love at first sight and met each other late.

Later, Yves joined the army, became ill due to mental abuse in the army, and was admitted to a mental hospital.

Yves, who was abandoned by Dior, decided to set up an independent studio with Pierre under the name of Yves Saint Laurent.

One is a designer whose inspiration is like a volcano, and the other is an operator and politician whose reason is zero. They have a clear division of labor and do not interfere with each other, but they love and trust each other.

YSL studio's business is booming, and Saint Laurent is more comfortable in the field of haute couture.

In p>1966, he suddenly opened an adult women's clothing store called "Left Bank", which was the first brand studio to make adult women's clothing.

At that time, fashion was the privilege of the rich, and adult women's clothing was the choice of the poor. But Yves doesn't think so. He thinks everyone has the right to pursue beauty. He also makes adult women's clothes to help more women discover beauty and regain their confidence.

In p>1968, he publicly declared that "Gao Ding is dead". But despite this, he returned to the ivory tower of high-end clothing a few years later. Gao Ding has been integrated into his blood, and Gao Ding has made him.

During the time when he left Gaoding, he made great achievements in ready-made clothes. Simple styles such as navy coat, hunting coat and trousers suit had a great influence on the dress of ordinary women.

however, he is not doing well. Coupled with the fame, he became more and more anxious, more and more depressed, farther and farther away from the happiness he pursued, and his physical condition was not optimistic.

During this period, the love between Yves and Pierre was in crisis.

A French aristocrat named Jacques de Bascher appeared. He charmed two giants in the fashion world at that time with his super invincible charm. One was Yves, and the other was Karl Lagerfeld, the one who made his mark in Paris with Yves at that time. Later, due to different circumstances and viewpoints, the two men went further and further.

now, the two of them have become rivals in love.

This charming Jacques won Carl's heart, but chose to be a partner with Yves. He knew that he had the same emotional soul as Yves. Karl is too rational, like an iceberg, and he will never become a victim of art in pain. Jacques called him "Julius Caesar".

The appearance of p>Jacques didn't make Yves better. Yves got deeper and deeper into alcohol and narcotics, and her physical condition and mental condition got worse and worse.

in p>1976, he officially withdrew from the public eye.

The sad Pierre was sad for a long time. He was as rational as he was, but he still couldn't leave Yves. He moved out, but the farthest house he lived in was also the end of Eve's residence.

Yves is in poor condition. He only has two chances to be happy once a year, that is, when he stands on the overpass to thank him at the end of the fashion show. Despite such a bad state of mind and body, Yves's inspiration never stopped burning.

In the 197s and 198s, whenever rumors of Yves' death came out, he appeared with his latest works, such as opium perfume, Picasso series, the use of China elements and the display of Spanish style, which have become classic models in the fashion design industry.

perhaps because of the nourishment of love, the support of will, or the stimulation from rival in love, Carl entered Chanel in 1982, and Chanel was Yves' dream.

The only thing that can't be denied is Pierre's company. Even if love breaks down, Pierre has always been there, trying his best to get his new works out.

In p>1989, when Jacques died, Carl fell into a depression, and Yves was badly hit, so she could no longer design clothes.

Pierre began to contact a new business company to run YSL. He needs more time with Eve.

Yves couldn't even get on the overpass. Pierre pushed him up several times.

Yves' condition was so bad that Pierre had to worry about sending him to a mental hospital for treatment.

after the treatment, he gave up drinking and then went to work.

it was not until 22 that Yves was so tired that he decided to formally quit haute couture.

There is a sentence in his speech, "I am just a' player with fire'. I seek for myself and know that the most important face in life is to face myself."

When Yves decided to quit, Pierre knew that his trip was over.

Six years later, Yves Saint Laurent died, and Pierre decided to auction all their collections, so there was the "Century Auction" in 29.

The auction items were hidden by the two of them all their lives. There are a large number of paintings, such as those of mondriaan and Matisse, as well as vessels from the mysterious East, such as the two animal heads in front of Yuanmingyuan, which, yes, are the rat animal heads and the rabbit animal heads that later aroused heated discussion among our compatriots. I want to add a digression. Yves and Pierre have nothing to do with the theft of the animal head. They just bought it back for the purpose of liking it, that's all.

Pierre kept a house. This house is located in Normandy, France. Pierre often flies to take Yves here for a holiday. Originally, he wanted to give Yves a physical conditioning, but it played an important role in Yves' work.

Yves named her bedroom "Swan", and Pierre's bedroom was called "Summer Marius" (Pierre and Summer Marius were both characters in Memories of Time, and Swan was a very neurotic child who found the existence of "self" in his memory).

Pierre is an excellent businessman and politician. He is in charge of all the affairs of fashion empire YSL except design. He pushed YSL to an unprecedented political height and even kept all Yves' design drafts and clothing samples forward-looking.

After the auction, Pierre prepared the foundation in their names and established two museums to show Yves' design views and aesthetic ideas to the world with his works as the carrier.

A museum is located at No.5 Marceau Street in Paris, which witnessed the brilliant rise and final exhaustion of Yves.

Another museum is located in Marrakech, the birthplace of Yves, which is adjacent to Majorelle Garden, where Yves' ashes are scattered.

Yves said, "Fame is a magnificent mourning for happiness."

He was born a melancholy genius. Later, due to his fame and poor health, his depression broke out completely.

Fortunately, there are sensible and tolerant lovers around him, as well as opponents who are incredibly cold. They are the bane of temperature, like a wide glacier, absorbing Yves' heat bit by bit. Eve's genius didn't burn herself.

He thundered past like a thunderbolt, igniting a blazing firework in the sky of fashion.

the thunder came too hard and the fireworks were too intense.
