YVES SAINT LAURENT CATWALK BOOK (ENGLISH)
Founded by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé in 1961, shortly after the young couturier left his position at the helm of Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent would soon become one of Paris's most successful and influential haute couture houses. By presenting Le Smoking, the first tuxedo suit for women, in 1966, Saint Laurent also presented iconic art-inspired creations, from Mondrian dresses to precious Van Gogh embroideries and the famous Ballets Russes collection. This definitive publication opens with a brief history of the house, followed by a short biographical edge of Yves Saint Laurent, before exploring the collections, organized chronologically. Each collection is presented with a brief text revealing its influences and highlights, and is illustrated with a gallery of carefully selected catwalk images. These showcase hundreds of spectacular garments, details, accessories, beauty looks, and scenographies, and, of course, the best fashion models who wore them on the runway. A rich reference section concludes the book.Language: English. For the return of this item, it is required to be in its protective plastic.
