A tantalizingly brief clip of a collaboration between fashion giant Yves Saint-Laurent and composer/arranger/ key Serge Gainsbourg collaborator, Jean-Claude Vannier. A version of L’enfant la Mouche et les Allumettes from Vannier’s 1972 LP L’enfant Assassin des Mouches (pictured above) is performed as rather surreal accompaniment to the fashion goings-on from The Roland Petit Show in 1971. Wish it went on longer.
Bonus: A few songs from the wonderful aformentioned LP
Le Roi Des Mouches Et La Confiture De Rouse
Les Gardes Volent Au Secours Du Roi
L`enfant Au Royaume Des Mouches
