Yves Saint Laurent: Icons of Fashion Design & Photography

An incredible collection of Yves Saint Laurent’s designs, beautifully captured by the leading fashion photographers of the 20th century, Yves Saint Laurent: Icons of Fashion Design & Photography is a gorgeous homage to the uncrowned king of haute couture. This indispensable coffee table book traces the success of Saint Laurent’s 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, William Klein, and more. Their lush photographs document Saint Laurent’s groundbreaking designs, as worn by the most beautiful women of the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s, including Audrey Hepburn, Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton, Mounia, and Veruschka. 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.
