Lately I’ve been starting to clear out my wardrobe of expensive ‘trend’ pieces i’ve bought. Then i thought, that money could go to one solid statement piece that can take me through seasons, and then when a flash trend comes along, use budget friendly options such as Zara & Topshop. I am loving Saint Laurent, Ellery and Roberto Cavalli at the moment. Asymmetrical flatters all shapes, and well, Celine…need i explain?

He continued: “Even with a wonderful collection, he was a very, very unhappy, unhappy guy. More than that. More than unhappy. Really. I just tried to help him from time to time. I never complained. Never. It’s an illness, nothing else. It is just an illness.”
The film centers on the 2009 Christie’s mega-auction of more than 700 art objects that Mr. Bergé and Yves Saint Laurent, who first met in Paris in 1958, amassed during their years as a couple. In the interview, Mr. Bergé confessed that he never wanted to do the sale.
He dreamed instead, he said, of using the collection to create a museum, one blending their Old Master drawings, Renaissance bronzes, paintings, sculptures, furniture and memorabilia with the finest examples of Saint Laurent fashion designs. “It would have been a museum that married art with fashion,” Mr. Bergé said. “I made money with fashion. And I wanted to show that fashion was the origin of the money for the art. I wanted to do it.” But doing so, he lamented, would have been “too complicated and too expensive.”
