Well, technically they shared him — and we’ll use the terms “dated” and “boyfriend” very loosely. The man in question is Jacques de Bascher de Beaumarchais, an affluent quasi-aristocrat played in the film by Louis Garrel. In the early ’70s, de Bascher became the darling of the Parisian fashion scene and the object of Lagerfeld’s affection. Then, the It boy began an affair with Saint Laurent in 1973, fueling the rivalry between the two influential designers. The film suggests Bergé prompted their split. Either way, the relationship didn’t last, and the lothario died of complications from AIDS in 1989.
