The Night Yves Saint Laurent Threw the Most Outrageous Party in Fashion History

This documentary details the life, career, and controversial business strategies of fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, focusing on his most infamous product launch: the perfume Opium.

Key Highlights:

Early Life and Rise to Fame: Born in Oran, Algeria (1936), Saint Laurent was a shy, bullied child who found refuge in fashion design. At 21, he became the lead designer for the House of Dior following Christian Dior's death (10:06). After a traumatic breakdown during military service, he and his partner, Pierre Bergé, founded their own fashion house in 1961 (12:28, 18:21).
The Opium Launch (1978): To launch Opium in America, Saint Laurent hosted an opulent and decadent party aboard the Peking tall ship in New York Harbor, featuring a bronze Buddha and fireworks spelling out his name and the fragrance (27:42, 28:33, 30:32). He utilized provocation as a business strategy, refusing to change the name despite widespread criticism from the Chinese-American community regarding its reference to the Opium Wars (34:20, 36:26).
Success and Decline: Despite bans and public outcry, Opium became an immediate commercial triumph, outselling Chanel No. 5 and cementing Saint Laurent's empire (38:00, 38:40). However, the designer struggled with severe substance abuse and mental health issues throughout his life, which were often public knowledge (41:10, 42:36).
Legacy: After his retirement in 2002 and death in 2008, his and Bergé's vast art collection was auctioned for a record-breaking $484 million (45:19, 46:20, 47:27). His legacy lives on through the Jardin Majorelle in Marrakech and the enduring success of the Opium brand (46:52, 50:06).

Anok Yai Gets Ready for the Met Gala | Vanity Fair

This video takes viewers behind the scenes as supermodel Anok Yai prepares for the 2026 Met Gala. Throughout the process, Anok shares her collaborative journey with the design team and the creative vision behind her striking ensemble.

Key Highlights:

The Concept: Anok envisioned a look resembling a bronze statue or deity, drawing inspiration from Renaissance art and the concept of the Black Madonna (2:17, 5:27).
Prosthetics: A major part of the transformation is a custom-made silicone prosthetic wig, which required a challenging live-casting process and was inspired by Medusa with snake-like knots at the back (0:25, 3:37, 4:07).
Pre-Met Rituals: Her preparation routine was extensive, starting as early as 7:00 a.m. and including facials, a massage, and lymphatic drainage (3:06 - 3:21).
The Couture Gown: She wears a Balenciaga couture gown designed by Pierre-Paulo, which features a dramatic 5 to 6-meter train. The piece was a labor-intensive creation involving 15 people working around the clock for a week (5:24 - 6:04).

Anok reflects on the nerve-wracking nature of the Met Gala even after attending seven times, emphasizing her desire to push boundaries and collaborate with the world's best creatives (1:06, 1:38, 4:56).
