They met in 1965 and the rest, as they say, were history.

Catherine Deneuve and the house of Saint Laurent have had a very long-standing relationship. They first met in 1965 through Catherine's husband David Bailey and she chose Monsieur Yves Saint Laurent to dress her for her first meeting with the Queen of England.
From then, the two had an inseparable and enduring relationship. Monsieur Saint Laurent once said, "We write to each other often. I call her &lsquo;Catherine, my sweet,&rsquo; and she sends me pale-coloured roses."
This relationship extends to the current house of Saint Laurent, leading creative director Anthony Vaccarello to host a night honouring the legendary icon, Catherine.

At the recent 79th Film Festival in Venice, Anthony Vaccarello hosted a dinner in honour of Catherine Deneuve to celebrate her Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement award.
Models, muses and stars gathered at the futuristic auditorium at the Palazzo Grassi contemporary art museum for the soiree including Anja Rubik, Carla Bruni, Eva Herzigova, Laura Harrier, Jamie Campbell Bower and more.

The dinner also highlighted an all-night screening where Catherine's greatest works including Mississippi Mermaid, The Hunger and Heartbeat were broadcast to all.
In a statement, Anthony Vaccarello says, "In each of the cinematic modes explored in this journey from the 1960s to the 1980s and back &mdash; drama, thriller and romance &mdash; Deneuve reveals a different notion of femininity."
