Saint Laurent Page #5

---

In Japan? In the USA?

We can't rule that out.

While the others carry on selling dresses,

we can sell Yves Saint Laurent.

It's a huge opportunity.

You're already doing that.

Sunglasses, cigarettes, ties...

- You sell his name.

Not his name.

We sell him, Yves Saint Laurent.

Why do you think the Forties

collection sold?

He's more famous than his clothes.

Look at this photo.

Okay, perhaps. But there's a dozen young

designers on the rise

who are making fashion affordable

and easy to wear.

All the big names in haute couture

are on their way out, Pierre.

Who? Hechter? Cacharel?

Kenzo? The Jacobsens?

You're right.

That's why I plan to found a group

uniting designers and couturiers

to have them represented

in the fashion trade union.

And I'Il be president.

And I'm offering to take

haute couture off your hands.

I want Yves and myself

to recover 100% of Saint Laurent.

I want us to get the name

Saint Laurent back.

I'm ready to go into serious debt for that.

I'd say that's a pretty illogical decision.

An illogical decision, given the figures.

Perhaps, but it's my decision.

Bear in mind that if you agree to this

you remain the owner of

Saint Laurent perfumes,

and that's where the money is.

So what's the catch, guys?

You'll a license fees on all sales.

V:

I have a percentage proposal

for you to consider.

You'll find it to your advantage.

One more thing, and it's not negotiable...

You cannot launch any product

without the permission

of the brand's founders.

Of course not,

that's not in our interest.

Pierre...

Can't we continue this

over dinner?

Business is not done in a restaurant,

but in an office. I think

we all agree on that.

However, once this is settled,

I'Il gladly invite you to dinner, David.

For now, the priority is

getting my name back.

Your name?

Yves name.

Yves Saint Laurent.

Speaking of whom,

been hearing a lot about him lately.

About his health.

Like what?

Well...

Don't listen to the rubbish people say.

Yves is perfectly fine.

He works a lot but is in great shape.

Actually, I need more pills.

The blue ones again.

- What were they?

- Captagon

- The same again, then, but stronger.

- Hmm.

They help me work.

And others to help me relax at night.

Valium, say.

It won't relax you, it'll knock you out.

Still getting dizzy spells?

- Now and then, before collections.

- Oh.

I have two to do.

I don't have any ideas for ready-to-wear.

I haven't sketched a

thing for haute couture.

That's why I need the pills.

I'll give you something

but respect the dosage.

Don't worry,

it's just for the collection period.

Mmm.

Not too much drink either.

Of course, I'm not mad.
