The name of Yves Saint Laurent, one of the great fashion designers of the twentieth century, evokes the now-iconic looks he helped popularize as part of the modern woman's wardrobe: the Le Smoking tuxedo jacket, the pea coat, the Mondrian dress, the jumpsuit. But seven years after Saint Laurent's death, the man himself remains an enigma and a source of fascination (two Yves Saint Laurent biopics were released in 2014). In Yves Saint Laurent's Studio: Mirror and Secrets, the first book to be published by the Fondation Pierre Bergé with Yves Saint Laurent, fashion historian Jérômine Savignon invites the reader into the designer's studio, revealing Saint Laurent's approach to fashion and des...

From his early days working under Dior and heading the House of Dior after his mentor's death, to the opening of his first pr t a porter shop on the Rive Gauche and the debut of the Le Smoking tuxedo, to the muses he adored, Loulou de la Falaise and Catherine Deneuve among them, this volume reveals the breadth and scope of the designer's entire career. With a preface by Pierre Berg , author Faride Chenoune explores the sources of inspiration that drove Saint Laurent's continuous innovation, drawing upon painting, sculpture, theater, opera, literature, and cinema.
Jacques Fath
Before there was Jean Paul Gaultier, there was Jacques Fath. Known as the enfant terrible of the fashion world in the 1940s and 1950s, Fath injected a sense of levity and joie de vivre into the buttoned-up world of Paris couture. Handsome, charming, youthful, and irreverent, Fath channeled his temperament into his designs. With swooping necklines and sweeping hems, Fath won over such clients as Greta Garbo, Ava Gardner, and Rita Hayworth. The house's famous hats--one featured walnut shells whose contents were consumed by Fath--displayed the same insouciance as the clothes. Although Fath was struck down by leukemia at the age of forty-two, his legacy lives on. Jacques Fath pays homage to this master during his early-fifties peak. AUTHOR: Jéromine Savignon is the author of Cacharel Le Liberty (Assouline) and L'Esprit Vionnet (Université de la Mode). ILLUSTRATIONS 60 illustrations
Jean-Louis Scherrer
Jean-Louise Scherrer's years of training under Christian Dior and at the helm of the Dior empire prepared him for his own eponymous label. For thirty years Scherrer's star has shone brightly in an industry where success often proves elusive. “ Scherrer's studio became a lavish kingdom of fluid lines, soft evocations, and virtuosity. From one collection to the next, his designs flowed with romantic imagery, the heroines of which imagined themselves as queens of legend or Hollywood stars. “ Jean-Louis Scherrer dressed the greatest names: Farah Diba, the Kennedy family, Princess Paola of Belgium, Madame Giscard d'Estaing, Michele Morgan, Sophia Loren, Raquel Welch, Isabelle Adjani, Francoise Sagan, and many more. “ AUTHOR: Fashion historian Jeromine Savignon is the author of Cacharel de Liberty and L'Esprit Vionnet. “60 illustrations
The Hundred Dresses
From the Sack to the Sari, each dress makes a powerful statement about the woman who wears it. Inspired by the Eleanor Estes' children's classic The Hundred Dresses, Erin McKean's classic-to-be by the same title, with chic illustrations by Donna Mehalko, is a definitive and witty look at what one hundred iconic dress styles, vintage and modern say about their wearers. Each beautifully illustrated entry looks at the history of that particular style, famous wearers (if applicable), possible accessories, where the style could be observed, and what message, subtle or overt, is conveyed by the dress. Featured are The Wench; The Vreeland; The Wrap; The Austen; The Beckham; The Siren (any style, as long as it's red); The Chanel Ingénue; The Caftan; The Guinevere; The Jackie; ; The Biohazard (any dress dangerous to bystanders or the wearer: think Lady Gaga); and many more. Part style commentary, part fashion blueprint, part clever field guide, The Hundred Dresses will ensure that no woman (or man) ever underestimates the power of the dress.
