Yves Saint Laurent 5 avenue Marceau 75116 Paris

In this companion piece to his biographical profile Yves Saint Laurent: His Life and Times (2002), filmmaker David Teboul peers behind the doors of one of the world's leading fashion houses. As he prepared his last women's collection in 2001, St. Laurent allowed cameras to observe the evolution of his vision for the first time.

During roughly eight weeks, St. Laurent's simple black-and-white drawings are transformed through many iterations into glorious, colourful reality. A rare and revealingly intimate glimpse of the creative process in action.
