Battle at Versailles

M2M's inaugural original long-form documentary, Battle at Versailles, chronicles the 1973 spectacle at the Palace of Versailles in which leading French designers Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Cardin go head-to-head with American newcomers Oscar de la Renta, Bill Blass, Anne Klein, and Halston. The clash pits France’s premier couturiers against the best that America had to offer, marking the moment when the fashion world first fixed its gaze on American design.
