Summary

Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld first met in Europe as two young designers with big dreams, and went on to become global fashion moguls and fast friends. But power, influence, fame, and a mysterious ‘dark angel’ love interest would quickly turn these acclaimed allies to tragic enemies. In this episode, we’ll explore the drug-fueled drama of the high fashion world across multiple decades, and aim to get a deeper look into the minds, hearts, and relationships of these two fashion legends.
