War begins over the legacy of Yves Saint Laurent

War has erupted over the screen legacy of Yves Saint Laurent after the late fashion designer's longtime partner threatened to sue the makers of a "warts-and-all" biopic, while backing another "official" film.

Tensions had been mounting between the two rival productions ahead of a release date for both films on the flamboyant bad boy of French fashion slated for release later this year.

In the red corner, Saint Laurent , a film directed by Bertrand Bonello, has received the go ahead from the owner of Yves Saint Laurent brand, François Pinault, to use the logo and dresses in his possession.

In the blue corner, Yves Saint Laurent , directed by Jalil Lespert, is a film which has the official blessing of Pierre Bergé, 82, the couturier's companion on and off from 1958 until his death in 2008 and the guardian of his creative legacy.

"Two films on YSL? I hold the moral rights over YSL's work, his image and mine and have only authorised Jalil Lespert. A trial on the cards?," threatened the multi-millionaire part-owner of Le Monde newspaper on his Twitter account.

ZARA is in Deep Trouble

High street fashion retailer Zara is under investigation over the alleged use of slave labour at factories in Argentina, it has been reported.

Immigrant workers, including children, were discovered by the workers' rights group, La Alameda, producing clothes for the label in "degrading" sweatshop conditions, investigators claimed.

The mostly Bolivian labourers claimed they were made to work more than 13 hours a day and were prevented from leaving the factories without permission.

Garments being sewn at one workshop in Buenos Aires were said to include items from the Zara Man fashion line sold in British stores.

Juan Gomez Centurion, head of the country's health and safety watchdog, which raided three factories allegedly producing Zara clothes last week, said: "We found men and children who lived in places where they worked.

"They were not registered and they were living in terrible conditions. They had no official documents and were held against their will, they were not allowed to leave their workplaces without permission."

Unbelievable!!!! Could that be Karl Lagerfeld??!!

Is this super-designer Karl Lagerfeld sailing the Baltic Sea on a less-than-luxurious fishing boat?

These photographs show Karl Lagerfeld in his usual monochrome get-up aboard a rather rickety fishing boat, sailing the Baltic Sea. 

What do you think??!! This is confusing!!
