Discover the man behind the style in the must-see fashion film of the year, as YVES SAINT LAURENT arrives on DVD on 14 July 2014 from Entertainment One. For fans of Coco Before Chanel and The September Issue, this impeccably styled official biopic of the late designer Yves Saint Laurent tells the untold story of one of fashion’s greatest legends. We’ve got two copies to give away in this competition.
Directed by Jalil Lespert (Headwinds) and starring French newcomer Pierre Niney (It Boy) in the title role, this visually sumptuous film begins in Paris, 1957. The film charts YSL’s career from his early years at Dior in the late 1950s through to his iconic Ballet Russes collection of 1976. The world of the late 1950s is perfectly captured with elegant Dior designs, stylish models and a jazz score that matched the chic Parisian apartments the fashionistas inhabit.
During one of his highly successful and ground-breaking shows, Yves meets Pierre Bergé (played by Guillaume Gallienne; Marie Antoinette) – who will become the future love of his life and business partner. Three years later, they created the Yves Saint Laurent Company, which became one of the most famous brands in fashion and luxury.
Despite his own doubts and demons, Yves managed to turn the sleepy world of fashion upside down and change the way women dress forever.
