Yves Saint Laurent: a retrospective
Pierre Bergé
No biography of Yves Saint Laurent would be complete without mention of Pierre Bergé, the other force behind the YSL label, and Yves’ companion for 50 years. Bergé has always been the business man, the marketing genius, who convinced possible investors of the potential of the couture house.
Today Bergé is chairman of the Fondation Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent, which aims to “conserve the 5000 Haute Couture garments and the 15 000 accessories, sketches and assorted objects that bear witness to 40 years of Yves Saint Laurent’s creativity”. The foundation also organises regular exhibitions, both in-house in Paris and around the world, making sure that Saint Laurent’s legacy will live on for many generations to come.
