"Deep down, these letters had a single goal: take stock of our lives. Explain in those who read them who you were, who we were."
Pierre Bergé shared his life with Yves Saint Laurent for fifty years. These letters, written to the great fashion designer after his death, relive the carefree days when they were discovering fame and building their renowned art collection, as well as the bitter ones that followed, filled with drugs and depression. This homage to their passionate, sometimes tempestuous life together is a last and intimate farewell to a towering figure of 20th century fashion.
