Joann Berman Spring 2011 at New York Green Fashion Week.

Just as a documentary about Yves Saint Laurent premieres this week at TIFF, Marc Jacobs debuts a Spring 2011 collection at New York Fashion Week greatly indebted to the French master’s 1970s golden era.
The new Yves Saint Laurent documentary playing at TIFF, L’Amour Fou, does nothing to dispel the tortured-genius legend of France’s last, lost couturier. Perhaps there’s nothing to be done. His art was his life, and vice versa. The film is narrated by YSL’s lifelong love, partner, and official myth preserver, Monsieur Pierre Bergé. He talks Read more…
