[Theresa · Rating 4 out of 5]

As someone who can barely sew on a button, seeing the process from sketch to toile to finished garment is like magic. So many great behind the scenes photos of the creation of YSL'S Fall/Winter 2001 collection. And oh geeze, some of the bits and pieces of his writings: "I think there is only one happiness possible on earth. That of self-forgetting and devoting oneself to others. When you try to make others happy, you eventually receive a few flashes yourself." The letter about Moujik and Pierre Bergé giving him Moujik's portrait by Andy Warhol was adorable, though.
