It's true.

The French are so melodramatic.

I'Il make cocktails.

Champagne for me.

If you go to the sea

and follow the coast to the rising sun,

you reach Oran.

That's where I grew up.

There are no palms in Oran. No trees.

Nothing but heat and light.

The houses are much lower.

But the smell is the same.

- Hmm.

- The smell and the colors too.

That was the first thing

that struck me in Marrakech.

Everything came back to me.

Drawing here is amazing.

All those feelings coming back...

In Oran, I'd spend my time

trying to find Y-shaped pieces of wood.

I thought they'd bring me luck.

I was bored more than anything.

Even so, Mother and I were always

being silly, playing tricks all day.

She'd throw huge parties.

The ladies would arrive in fur coats...

Astrakhan, fox...

And their dresses, so 1940s...

som'-

Kikou!

Loulou has left a present for you.

What is it?

A surprise.

Hurry.

What is it?

I'm not allowed to say.

It's in the closet.

Where?

There. At the back.

Oh, no!

Pierre! Let me out!

No.

I have work to do, Pierre!

Let me out.

No. You're being punished.

Open up!

Stay there until tomorrow.

This isn't funny.

Will you let me out?

It's unlocked.

DearAndy,

How I wish I could have made you happy

and made the Andy Warhol dress.

I want it to be modern

and I think I succeeded.

I did what I had to do.

But now that's no longer important to me.

I just want to make the Saint Laurent dress.

Affectionately,

Yves.

Number 1.

Number 2.

Number 4.

Number 5.

Number 33.

Number 34.

Number 35.

Number 36.

Number 37.

Number 38.

I quit!

Manage on your own! I quit!

Do you need to drink so much?

It helps me think.

By the way,

I had a call from Ganz in Bremen.

He's found a silver and gilt bestiary

from the 17th century.

Magnificent.

With a swan, a greyhound,

a horse, a unicorn and a stag.

Each one about 30 centimeters tall.

Buy them, they must be beautiful.

I already did. I just wanted to tell you.

Wonderful.

What are you doing exactly?

You want a scandal, is that it?

Yes.

I don't want anyone thinking

I attempted suicide.

I'm ready.

Monsieur Berg,

on "The Forties" collection...

You mean the "Liberation" collection.

Excuse me, on the Liberation collection.

The risk was huge and revenues

fell from eight million to five.

Revenue fell by 3 million,

to the lowest level since '63,

just before launching "Y".

The risk was huge, but it paid off.

You talk about haute couture revenue.

But the ready-to-wear, "on the street,"

as Mr. Saint Laurent calls it,

really paid off.

This year the Rive Gauche boutique

registered sales of 15 million.

In 50 square meters.

It's unheard of.
