Yves Saint Laurent
Aug 23

Celebration

Banned after its 2007 premiere and thought to never be seen again, this long-awaited documentary offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at Yves Saint Laurent’s last years of genius at the helm of his iconic fashion house. Following Saint Laurent in the lead up to his landmark final collection, director Olivier Meyrou draws an exquisite portrait of the legendary designer: both larger-than-life, yet astonishingly reclusive and fragile, while revealing his integral relationship with partner Pierre Bergé, who initially suppressed the film’s release. With an influence felt on the Paul Thomas Anderson’s Phantom ThreadCelebration is an essential addition to the fashion doc canon and an opulent tribute to the last of the great Parisian couturiers.
