For these three fashion designers, cloth is the essence of the art of design.

Episode 6 - Yves Saint LaurentE649m

Yves Saint Laurent

No couture season can end without the YSL collection. But the man whom many call the greatest designer of the 20th century is reclusive, sensitive and so dogged by ill health that his company's president Pierre Berge says: "Yves was born with a nervous breakdown." With the benefit of behind-the-scenes access, this profile of Yves Saint Laurent tries to capture the essence of an elusive man.
