Yves Saint Laurent: Fashion & Photography Icons
Yves Saint Laurent: Icons of Fashion Design & Photography is a gorgeous homage to the uncrowned king of haute couture, beautifully capturing an incredible collection of Yves Saint Laurent's designs through the lens of the leading fashion photographers of the 20th century. "A compelling assemblage of YSL couture and ready-to-wear pieces worn by fashion icons from the '60s through '80s (Audrey Hepburn, Veruschka) ties a bow on a career that still astonishes," remarks Avenue Magazine.
Equipped with an infallible instinct for reading the aesthetic signs of the times, Yves Saint Laurent had a profound effect on fashion. This indispensable book traces the success of his haute couture and ready-to-wear designs from 1962 to 1988 through the lens of the world's leading fashion photographers, including Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton, and William Klein. 135 photographs document Saint Laurent's groundbreaking designs worn by the most beautiful women of the '60s, '70s, and '80s: Audrey Hepburn, Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton, Mounia, and Veruschka.
One of France's most prominent fashion designers, Saint Laurent's work from his time at Dior to the founding of his eponymous YSL fashion label in 1962 until his death in 2008 was a force in an industry full of big names and successful houses. In 1985, fashion historian Caroline Milbank wrote, "The most consistently celebrated and influential designer of the past twenty-five years, Yves Saint Laurent can be credited with both spurring the couture's rise from its 1960s ashes and with finally rendering ready-to-wear reputable." He developed his style to accommodate the changes in fashion during that period, approaching his aesthetic from a different perspective by helping women find confidence by looking both comfortable and elegant at the same time.
With an introduction by writer and filmmaker Marguerite Duras, this classic volume documents Saint Laurent's ever-evolving artistry and the combined efforts of the world's most talented fashion photographers - and is as beautiful and rewarding as one of Saint Laurent's creations.
