what? yves saint laurent was a high-strung bitchy diva? never saw that coming.....tom ford opens up about his stint at ysl in the dec 09/jan 10 issue of the advocate. when he left the label in 2004, saint laurent said of ford: "i think he has a lot of talent for, what do you call it, marketing. but he never showed interest in the archives." ford, who has never publicly spoken about his time there until now says "being at yves saint laurent was such a negative experience for me though the business boomed while i was there. yves and his partner, pieree bergé, were so difficult and so evil and made my life such misery."
