Saint-Laurent and Me, An Intimate Story
Saint-Laurent and Me, An Intimate Story
Yves Saint Laurent is fashion, luxury, genius. But behind this name hides a tormented man with whom Fabrice Thomas shared an intimate life. Here, he introduces us to the world of the couturier and his backstage.
Between 1990 and 1993, Fabrice Thomas lived with Yves Saint Laurent as a companion and lover. Separated in daily life from Pierre Bergé since 1976, Yves Saint Laurent comes out of rehab and wants to rebuild his life. In 1990, he is 54 years old, Fabrice Thomas 29.
An employee of the YSL company since 1982 and lover of Pierre Bergé, Fabrice Thomas was given the mission by Pierre Bergé to live with the designer to support him so that he could continue to create.
This testimony is the story of a man who is playful and at the same time the plaything of forces beyond his control and which he imagines he controls, when most of the time they control him.
The story covers a period of twelve years and focuses in particular on his life with Yves Saint Laurent, from 1990 to 1993, but also returns in flashbacks to his life as an employee in the service of Pierre Bergé, between 1982 and 1989.
