This is NOT an inspiring story of gay love that endures through the years, despite what online descriptions and reviews say. It is the story of a greedy, grasping, manipulative, totally unscrupulous and cold-hearted little "businessman" who latched onto a young, highly gifted but pathologically shy and depressed fashion designer. He drove that damaged kid into a life so full of stress that he sought relief in drugs and then finally burned out before he got old and spent his last couple of decades in tortured isolation. It's a heartbreaking and disgusting story.
Although they had broken up as a couple decades earlier, in order to make doubly sure that he ended up with all the loot, the huckster married the designer just a few days before he died of brain cancer, hardly in any condition to make reasonable choices. As soon as the funeral was over, he shifted into high gear to maximize his profit from selling the designer's lovingly assembled art collection, which put another half-billion dollars in his already overstuffed pockets.
What a horrible, horrible man. Forget what he "did" for the shallow, spurious world of high fashion--he's a self-serving monster who has earned every horror that will come to him eventually.
