Yves Saint Laurent: Thunder and Fire by the Glacier
Brewster is the author of Memories of Time Past and Yves Saint Laurent's favorite writer.
Yves is convinced of his talent. At the beginning of entering the clothing industry, he said to his mother, "I will eventually become an excellent person!" "
Later, he proved to be an excellent designer, but he was also dragged down by this "wonderful and unfortunate god" and fell into endless darkness and confusion.
/kloc-Yves made her debut in Paris at the age of 0/8.
At the age of 2/kloc-0, he challenged Dior and proved his strength with his works.
At the press conference of trapezoid series, Yves met Pierre Belges, the most important person in his later years.
Pierre and Yves fell in love at first sight and met each other late.
Later, Yves joined the army, fell ill in the army because of mental abuse and was admitted to a mental hospital.
Yves, who was abandoned by Dior, decided to set up an independent studio with Pierre under the name of Yves Saint Laurent.
One is a designer inspired by a volcano, and the other is an operator and politician with zero reason. They have a clear division of labor and do not interfere with each other, but they love and trust each other.
YSL Studio business is booming, and Saint Laurent is more handy in the field of haute couture.
From 1966, he suddenly opened an adult women's clothing store called "Left Bank", which was the first brand studio to make adult women's clothing.
At that time, fashion was the privilege of the rich and adult women's clothing was the choice of the poor. But Yves doesn't think so. He believes that everyone has the right to pursue beauty. He also makes adult women's dresses to help more women discover beauty and regain their self-confidence.
1968, he publicly declared that "Gao Ding is dead". Nevertheless, a few years later, he returned to the ivory tower of high-end clothing. Gao Ding has been integrated into his blood, and it is Gao Ding who made him.
During the time when he left Gaoding, he made great achievements in ready-made clothes. Simple styles such as navy coat, hunting coat and trousers suit have great influence on the dress of ordinary women.
However, he did not live a good life. Coupled with his growing fame, he became more and more anxious, more and more depressed, farther and farther away from his pursuit of happiness, and his physical condition was not optimistic.
During this period, the love between Yves and Pierre was in crisis.
A French aristocrat named Jacques de Barschel appeared. He charmed the two giants of fashion at that time with his super invincible charm, one was Yves, and the other was karl lagerfeld, who was famous with Yves in Paris at that time. Later, due to different circumstances and viewpoints, the two went further and further.
Now, the two of them have become rivals in love.
This charming Jacques got Carl's heart, but chose to be a partner with Yves. He knew that he and Eve had the same emotional soul. Carl is too rational, like an iceberg, and he will never be a victim of art in pain. Jacques called him Julius Caesar.
The appearance of Jacques didn't make Yves better. Eve is getting deeper and deeper into alcohol and drugs, and her physical condition and mental condition are getting worse.
1976, he officially withdrew from public view.
The sad Pierre was sad for a long time. He was as rational as he was, but he still couldn't leave Yves. He moved out, but the farthest house he lived in was also the end of Eve's residence.
Eve's condition is very poor. She only has two chances to be happy once a year, that is, when he stands on the overpass to thank her at the end of the fashion show. Despite such a bad state of mind and body, Yves's inspiration never stopped burning.
In the 1970s and 1980s, whenever rumors of Yves' death came out, he appeared with his latest works, such as opium perfume, Picasso series, the use of China elements and the display of Spanish style, which became classic models in fashion design.
Perhaps it is the nourishment of love, the support of will, or the stimulation of rival in love. Carl entered Chanel on 1982, and Chanel is Yves' dream.
The only thing that can't be denied is Pierre's company. Even if love broke down, Pierre was always there, trying his best to get his new tricks out.
1989, Jacques died, Carl fell into a downturn, and Yves was also hit hard, so he could no longer design clothes.
Pierre began to contact a new business company to run YSL. He needs more time with Eve.
Yves couldn't even get on the overpass, and Pierre pushed him up several times.
Yves' condition was so bad that Pierre had to worry about sending him to a mental hospital for treatment.
After the treatment, he gave up drinking and went to work.
It was not until 2002 that Yves was so tired that he decided to formally quit Haute Couture.
There is such a sentence in his speech, "I am just a player with fire." I am looking for myself and know that the most important face in life is to face myself. "
When Yves decided to quit, Pierre knew that his trip was over.
Six years later, Yves Saint Laurent died, and Pierre decided to auction all their collections, so there was the "Century Auction" in 2009.
The auction items were hidden by the two of them all their lives. There are a large number of paintings, such as those by mondriaan and Matisse, and vessels from the mysterious East, such as two animal heads in front of Yuanmingyuan, which, yes, are the rat animal heads and rabbit animal heads that later aroused heated discussion among Chinese people.
I want to add a digression. Yves and Pierre had nothing to do with the theft of the animal head. They bought it just because they liked it, that's all.
Pierre has a house. This house is located in Normandy, France. Pierre often takes Eve here by plane for vacation. Originally, he wanted to give Yves a physical conditioning, but it played an important role in Yves' work.
Yves named his bedroom "Swan", and Pierre's bedroom was named "Summer Marius" (Pierre and Summer Marius are both characters in Memories of Things Past, and Swan is a very neurotic child who discovered the existence of "self" in his memory).
Pierre is an excellent businessman and politician. He is in charge of all the affairs of fashion empire YSL except design. He pushed YSL to an unprecedented political height, and even kept all Yves' design drafts and clothing samples forward-looking.
After the auction, Pierre prepared a foundation and established two museums in their names, taking Yves' works as the carrier to show Yves' design views and aesthetic thoughts to the world.
There is a museum at No.5 Marceau Street in Paris, which witnessed the brilliant rise and final exhaustion of Yves.
Another museum is located in Marrakech, the birthplace of Yves, adjacent to Majorelle Garden where Yves' ashes are scattered.
Yves said, "Fame is a magnificent mourning for happiness."
He was born a melancholy genius. Later, due to fame, poor health and many other reasons, depression broke out completely.
Fortunately, there are sensible and tolerant lovers and incredibly cold opponents around him. They are the bane of temperature, like wide glaciers, absorbing Yves' heat bit by bit. Eve's genius didn't burn herself.
He roared past like a thunderbolt, lighting a blazing fireworks in the fashionable sky.
The thunder came too hard and the fireworks were too warm.
