Pierre Bergé, Yves Saint Laurent’s business and romantic partner for over 50 years, finally speaks about YSL’s struggle with depression:
“Sadly, Yves was not built for joy. He was an unhappy person who didn’t have a taste for life. Occasionally, he was happy, but life was difficult for him. The depression ran deep.” On his aesthetic, Bergé notes: “Saint Laurent detested fashion. Style is what he liked…Chanel may have given women liberty but Saint Laurent gave them power.”
