In one of his final interviews, Olivia Singer speaks with the late impresario about his enduring love for the designer who shaped fashion as we know it
Yves Saint Laurent
Today, we are sitting in Bergé’s office at the Fondation Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent in Paris, a space he has occupied since the 1970s, and the walls are lined with images of Saint Laurent, from Warhol paintings of the designer to framed photographs of the couple throughout their life together. This foundation is the material realisation of Bergé’s life’s work, a life that he devoted to making Saint Laurent’s possible.
“Saint Laurent gave power to women,” Bergé says. “When a woman was insecure, Saint Laurent garments gave them security. It’s true.” Now, conserved at a particular temperature, particular humidity level, suspended within mousseline shrouds and archived within metal libraries, are those same pieces, the backstage Polaroids of the models wearing them, and the sales ledgers documenting each and every customer’s investment.
