L'Amour Fou

This looks so beautiful yet so heart wrenching.

Fashion icon Yves Saint Laurent met businessman Pierre Berge at Christian Dior's funeral in 1957. Resulting in a relationship that spanned over five decades, leaving an indelible change on the way women dressed and revolutionising the fashion world.

Throughout their partnership, they were avid art collectors, amassing a collection that would rival the best galleries. Upon Laurent's death in 2008 Berge decided to sell the couple's beloved collection. Through this momentous Christie's auction, and using archival footage as well as interviews this documentary comes together deoictung the incredible life of Laurent and the relationship between these two incredible men.

Jacs and I visited the garden in Morocco they built together not long after the death of Laurent. It was incredible. So the obsession continues....
