The Beautiful Fall: Lagerfeld, Saint Laurent, and Glorious Excess in 1970s Paris by Alicia Drake

3.0

Seeing the film "Yves Saint Laurent" solidified my feeling that "The Beautiful Fall" is an excellent study of two creative processes: the tortured artist filled with angst and the artist who works his perspective into outside assignments. YSL was the former, and while I agree that his work and vision were brilliant, I thought the film could have used more Karl Lagerfeld. I would have been far more interested in a film exploring the tension between YSL and Lagerfeld, who was the latter sort of artist.

See the film, then come back to "The Beautiful Fall" for more Karl. More Karl is always better.
