In a surprising move, the Kering-owned French fashion house Yves Saint Laurent has been expanding its activities to include full-fledged film production since 2023. This shift was first announced by the company last year, and since then, Saint Laurent has popped up in the credits of several high-profile titles, such as Jacques Audiard's Emilia Pérez and Paolo Sorrentino's Parthenope.
Veteran costume designer Catherine George, who worked with Saint Laurent on Jim Jarmusch's Golden Lion-winning feature Father Mother Sister Brother, has now shed some light on the fashion house's cinematic collaborations. According to George, Saint Laurent's creative director is a "great film fan and cinephile" who has chosen to work with specific directors, including Jarmusch, Sorrentino, Abel Ferrara, David Cronenberg, and Pedro Almodóvar.
