Yves Saint Laurent
Yves Saint Laurent is a name synonymous with style, elegance, and high fashion. When he came on the scene at Dior and then started his own line, he quickly changed the way people regarded haute couture and the world of fashion itself. He revolutionized women’s evening wear when he introduced Le Smoking, a woman’s tuxedo, and made couture accessible to a younger generation. Yves Saint Laurent is Roxanne Lowit’s personal photographic history of Saint Laurent, the man and the fashion, from 1978, the year she first met him, to the last show he gave in 2002. With contributions from YSL’s muses and admirers, including Catherine Deneuve, Betty Catroux, Lucie de la Falaise, Pat Cleveland, and Valerie Steele, this reduced format hardcover represents the backstage experience at YSL’s shows as Lowit saw them herself. Whether surrounded by beautiful models or peeking at the catwalk from the wings, every moment was a magnificent photo opportunity. Lowit shares magical moments of YSL with the world—intimate, social, absorbed in fashion—and creates a unique portrait of this towering figure of postwar couture.
YSL
Yves Saint Laurent started on his path to becoming one of the world's most important designers at the age of 21, when he took over as head of the House of Dior. Four years later, together with Pierre Berge, his partner and the author of this intriguing book, Yves Saint Laurent opened his eponymous house - forever changing the way women dress. No other couturier has produced as many styles that have become part of the grammar of fashion. And, Saint Laurent's ready to wear collections, revolutionary in their time, brought a previously exclusive brand to a large and receptive public. This illustrated volume presents vibrant photographs of his important designs and a personal text honouring his legacy. AUTHOR: Pierre Berge established the house of Yves Saint Laurant in 1961 and is the author of several books. ILLUSTRATIONS 60 illustrations
