Yves Saint Laurent’s name made a noticeable splash in the news a few weeks ago when the always outspoken former Yves Saint Laurent and Gucci creative director Tom Ford had some harsh words for the designer. Among the memorable quotes uttered by Ford to the Advocate – “I don’t even remember much about my time at Yves Saint Laurent, though I do think some of my best collections were there — other than that black-and-white initial one. That one wasn’t very successful and wasn’t very good. But being at Yves Saint Laurent was such a negative experience for me even though the business boomed while I was there. Yves and his partner, Pierre Bergé, were so difficult and so evil and made my life such misery… I’ve never talked about this on the record before, but it was an awful time for me. Pierre and Yves were just evil. So Yves Saint Laurent doesn’t exist for me.”
Whether warranted or not, Ford drew harsh criticism for his words on the top-earning dead celebrity (according to Forbes).
