YVES SAINT LAURENT is an epic odyssey of creation, love, glamour and fashion and gives us a privileged insight into the mind and life of one of the greatest visionary designers of our time. Created with the full support of the Foundation of Yves Saint Laurent this allowed the filmmakers to utilise original YSL designs and to film inside Laurent's opulent homes - from Paris to Marrakech. This fascinating film of the life of the French Haute Couture fashion icon begins in 1953. As an 18-year-old Laurent wins a major fashion prize which leads him to take over the Christian Dior legacy.
