My editor send me this Forbes story and I just had to share.

My favorite part:

“Coco Chanel had an aristocratic German officer as a wartime lover. Balenciaga was so shy he rode to and from his Paris couture house lying prone on the floor of one of his dress-delivery vans. Norman Norell personally scrubbed the hardwood floor of his Seventh Avenue showroom before the fashion show. Pierre Cardin summoned the gendarmes to arrest WWD’s Gerry Dryansky over an adjective. Pierre Balmain, as we all know, had a Catholic monk as his boyfriend. Yves Saint Laurent, according to his brilliant partner Pierre Berge, was “born with a nervous breakdown.” A distraught French socialite drove her car into the Seine when Hubert de Givenchy declined her advances. London designers Hardy Amies and John Cavanagh were British wartime spies.”
