Yves Saint Laurent: Icons of Fashion Design & Photography
An incredible collection of Yves Saint Laurentâs designs, beautifully captured by the leading fashion photographers of the 20th century.
A gorgeous homage to the uncrowned king of haute couture. Originally published in 1988, the book traces the success of Saint Laurentâs haute couture and ready-to-wear designs from 1962 to 1988 through the lens of the worldâs leading fashion photographers, including Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton, William Klein, and more.
Inside, 135 photographs document Saint Laurentâs groundbreaking designs worn by the most beautiful women of the â60s, â70s, and â80s: Audrey Hepburn, Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton, Mounia, and Veruschka. Saint Laurent was equipped with an infallible instinct for reading the aesthetic signs of the times, and this enabled him to have a profound effect on fashion.
With an introduction by Marguerite Duras, this classic volume documents Saint Laurentâs ever-evolving artistry and the combined efforts of the worldâs most talented fashion photographers, and is as beautiful and rewarding as one of Saint Laurentâs creations.
