Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Yves Saint-Laurent foundation lent the filmmakers 77 actual pieces from their archive for use in the film. The actors and models who wear these authentic Yves Saint Laurent clothes had to wear special underwear underneath the outfits, so that the clothes never touched their skin. Conservators from the foundation were present to make sure the historic, irreplaceable garments were correctly handled and stored.
- GoofsYSL's black leather Beat collection is shown as having been created in 1964 in the film, suggesting YSL was a leader of the Mod look of the mid 1960s, but in fact his Beat collection was done in 1960 and was too youthful for Dior clientele at the time and the main reason YSL was fired from Dior.

Featured review
I was recommended this movie by my sister who is, like many girls, really into fashion. For her Yves Saint-Laurent represents one of the great masters of fashion. A man that was born to make women look beautiful. Now that said, I really don't see anything in the movie a man who is not particularly into fashion could like about it. The story of YSL is boring at best. Not his actual life but the way he is portrayed. Falling into drugs at a pretty young age and not being able to ever keep it together during the majority of his life. He had a boyfriend/manager who is used as the person telling the story of the fashion legend. By the end of the movie, I don't know if you feel like you have find out loads of things about YSL that you didn't know, you are just left to wonder how his boyfriend put up with him for so long.
