Cast: Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld

When 18-year-old Yves Saint Laurent and 21-year-old Karl Lagerfeld earn honors at the International Wool Secretariat competition, two fashion legends set off on intertwined paths. Saint Laurent soon takes over at Dior and later launches his own label, while Lagerfeld becomes a master of endless reinvention. Once friends, the two turn into fierce rivals—a tension fueled in part by Jacques de Bascher, Lagerfeld’s flamboyant partner, whose dangerously close connection to Saint Laurent adds another provocative twist to their legendary feud.
