The movie "Yves Saint Laurent" has been enduring for a long time, and finally I watched it. It takes courage to read a story about the life of someone you love. Because no matter good or bad, you can always find a lot of accusations, because this man is perfect in your heart, he is a spiritual god.
The film uses images to reproduce the life of master Yves Saint Laurent. The content of the story is already very familiar. From the history of clothing to the history of art, almost all the words and pictures about him can be recited.
He has been in the fashion circle of the flashy circle all his life. He became famous at a young age. He stood at the highest position in the fashion circle more than once. He also survived in adversity because of a mental breakdown. Combine.
He was encouraged by his friends and became a drug addict after making friends. He also became enemies with another fashion industry great Karl Lagerfeld in order to compete for the French nobleman Jacques de Bascher.
He also once fell into a slump in the emotional collapse, and all kinds of intricate emotional worlds made talented artists even more different from ordinary people. After the film is displayed in front of the eyes, its impact is very huge and shocking.

's precocious genius
Yves Saint Laurent was born in Algeria in 1936. He was a rich second-generation born with a spoon in his mouth. His ancestors were barons, while his mother was a social celebrity and his father was in the insurance industry. Since childhood, I have enjoyed material life that ordinary people do not have. This is what he once said to Pierre Borg, who he just met, in the movie: I can't even write a check.
Yves Saint Laurent has a very high artistic talent since he was a child. He loves drawing, painting and stage play. He is sensitive, shy, sensitive and autistic. He has almost all the characteristics of an artist.
At the age of 17, Yves Saint Laurent saw the International Wool Bureau design competition in the Paris competition pictorial. He sent three manuscripts, a skirt, a suit and a coat.
The skirt won the third runner-up at that time, and the judges that year included the famous womenswear designers Balmain and Dior. The design competition held by the International Wool Bureau has always been the best platform for various designers to emerge.
The manuscript of the skirt designed at the age of 17 was
18 years old. After graduating from high school in October 1954, he studied at the Paris Institute of Clothing Union for three months. In November, he participated in the national wool bureau design competition again. Yves Saint Laurent designed a dress. An asymmetric black cocktail dress took first place in the skirt category and was adopted by evening dress master Hubert de Givenchy. In December 1954, Mr. Dior offered Yves Saint Laurent a job. In 1955, at the age of 19, Yves Saint Laurent officially participated in Dior's haute couture design.
Two years later, Mr. Dior died, and Yves Saint Laurent became the new artistic director of the company. Yves Saint Laurent was only 21 years old at the time!
At the age of 21, what can I do? Think about what I was doing at the time. Carrying a toolbox, I climbed to the practice room on the hillside to sew pants. We can't say that genius is set off by mediocrity, but the path of genius is destined to be extraordinary. Yves Saint Laurent is such a genius.

Yves Saint Lauren's
blessing to genius made him known early, but at the same time it also made him try the cruelty of the world very early. After taking office, Yves Saint Laurent's design was controversial , Conservatism is full of abuse for his fashionable and youthful design style.
Not long after the Algerian war broke out, he was forced to join the army. The pampered son could not face the cruelty of the war, let alone being insulted and beaten in the military camp because of his sexuality. In just 20 days, his spirit was greatly damaged. , suffered from bipolar disorder. These injuries were fatal for him and, after being admitted to a mental hospital, became the direct cause of his future drug and alcohol abuse. Misfortunes do not come singly, Dior began to quietly look for a successor, the movie said: How can a leading fashion company let a neuropathy master.
In the sanatorium he was on the verge of breaking down, and only his lover, Pierre, came to see him and picked him up to be with him.
Yves Saint Laurent met Pierre Borg, a partner of contemporary French painter Bernard Buffet, at a dinner organized by Marie Louise Bousquet, editor of Harper's Bazaar. The two are attracted to each other and finally come together, and they are bound for a lifetime.
Later, with the efforts of Pierre-Borg, he helped Yves Saint Laurent to establish himself as Yves Saint Laurent under his own name, which is today's YSL. Today, I really want to thank this genius art agent when I grab ysl lipstick on various websites. Yves Saint Laurent is still an artist who doesn't understand the mundane. Pierre helped him take care of everything and let him concentrate on the design work. Yves Saint Laurent named the clothes he designed with puppy names and lover names, as if all the mundane things in the world had nothing to do with him. He was still the sensitive and fragile little boy who had not experienced pain, wind and rain. Pierre Borg accompanied Yves through the peaks of his career and the troughs of his life, as well as through glory and betrayal.

and his works
Yves Saint Laurent designed countless fashion works throughout his life, from the initial design at Dior to the creation of YSL, he is good at combining artistic works with clothing design, bold, sensitive, and endowed with super high He is the best designer in the fashion industry who is good at exploring artistic design.
His design works in the Dior period continued the style of Mr. Dior, and at the same time applied a lot of innovative elements, which innovated the design style of the Dior brand.
Sixty years of Saint Laurent is the most glorious time in his life. His costume creation is unparalleled by his contemporaries, from flared pants, pullovers to hippie outfits, boots, and smoking outfits that started the spirit of rebellion. and so on were unimaginable by conservatives at the time, and his artistic creativity gave countless inspirations.
Smoking suit
The 1970s was the most difficult time for Yves Saint Laurent. Because of drugs, excessive tobacco and alcohol, and indulging in sensuality, his health had seriously threatened his creation, and art also burned his life.
But this stage is the most splendid stage of his artistic career, just like the fireworks, the Mondelli plaid skirt, following the style of the Tsarist Russian royal family, all the way to the surrounding area with oriental atmosphere. He was addicted to oriental art, and his creations were the most Western designs. His fashion began to reflect the shadows of Morocco, China, Japan and Spain, and continuously designed costume art and perfume full of oriental mystery.

Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre-Borg's emotional
film is a story of Yves Saint Laurent's life from the perspective of Pierre-Borg. The two have been together for nearly fifty years, and in the 1990s At that time, Yves Saint Laurent really understood the relationship between the two in an interview. Pierre is the person who understands him best and the person he loves the most in his life.
Yves Saint Laurent said that he was tired when his career was the most successful. Pierre Borg put down everything to accompany him around the world, forget the bustling show, forget the beautiful clothes, forget the cocktail party and all the people, Two people and a motorcycle are running wild in the wilderness, looking for the freedom that belongs to the artist.
They have been together for nearly 50 years, and they have already penetrated into each other's souls, deep into the bone marrow, and bound together for a lifetime. Pierre was the one who knew him best. He gives him full freedom, but at the same time leads him all the time. In the scandals, Pierre Borg always stands behind him, protects him and encourages him to get back on his feet. It can be said that it can be seen in the history of clothing now. To a talented designer, half the credit goes to him.

Angels and Demons
Yves Saint Laurent spent his life in pursuit of truly free creation, he loved all beautiful things, beautiful clothes, works of art, and beautiful people . He likes Deneve's long hair, lulu's personality, and Jacques' free-spirited and rambunctious. I don't know if he will know that there is an idiom in China that says: extremes will fail. All these good things give him hope, but they tend to eat back at his soul and take him to another abyss where alcohol, drugs, promiscuity, and sin almost destroy him.
Now that every season I see Chanel making a fool of myself, I'm wondering why it wasn't Karl Lagerfeld who died young, but Yves Saint Laurent! The two have been friends since they were young, but in the later period they did not communicate with each other. Jacques de Bascher contributed a lot. Later, Jacques died of AIDS in the late 1980s. The two old guys reported to gossip. One lives in seclusion and the other binge eats. What is the real situation, but from a little clue, I can see that this person is not small.
Of course, Karl Lagerfeld has always been self-disciplined and strong. In the same circle, Karl Lagerfeld can maintain a slim and self-disciplined life for decades, which is the secret of his ability to still live in this prosperous world.
Yves Saint Laurent still has his own named YSL a hundred years later, even if he can only see his works in museums in the future, he can still use its makeup and perfume. And no matter how long Karl Lagerfeld lives, he is only a designer attached to brands such as CHANEL and FENDI. Of course, it will not destroy his position as the fashion king at all.
What Jacques de Bascher's
so-called masters brought
Yves Saint Laurent's life's work that nicely summed up his life was presented at the closing ceremony of the French Football World Cup. A master, mainly to see what he brought to the industry, Christian Dior brought all kinds of NEW LOOK to the fashion industry and brought it into modern clothes.
And Gabrielle Chanel (Gabrielle Chanel) added suit jackets to women's clothing series, and launched women's trousers, revolutionizing the trend of women only wearing skirts in the 1920s.
And Yves Saint Laurent combined fashion art with painting art to push fashion art to the category of art. These are the most important reasons why their name and their work have been left in the history of modern clothing. From a film perspective, it is a tribute to a generation of great geniuses that a master of art can become a person who has been reshaped in film history. It is enough to leave it to the history of contemporary clothing art.
