Art Deco? Their living spaces are more along the lines of overindulged and overdone, if you ask me! I don't think that I've ever seen such a large collection of stuff - albeit stuff worth a lot of money - so it's no wonder that they needed multiple houses and apartments. I sure couldn't live in that cluttered space, so seeing this type of overwrought decoration gives me an exact idea of how I don't want my future house to look.

That being said, I did enjoy this glimpse into the minds of show more Saint Laurent and Bergé. It was less than 50 years ago that they were the epitome of style and taste, but it already seems 100 years gone by with how much the decorative attitude has changed. I'm sure that there are people out there immitating the style of Saint Laurent and Bergé, but I doubt that the availability of fine modern and classical art and statuary is as open as during the 1970s and 1980s. show less
