Yves Saint Laurent Catwalk: The Complete Haute Couture

Yves Saint Laurent Catwalk: The Complete Haute Couture Collections 1962-2002 /anglais

Founded by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre BergÃ© in 1961, shortly after the young couturier left his post at the helm of Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent would soon become one of the most successful and influential haute couture houses in Paris. Introducing 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 embroidery and the famous Ballets Russes collection.

This definitive publication opens with a concise history of the house, followed by a brief biographical profile of Yves Saint Laurent, before exploring the collections themselves, organized chronologically. Each collection is introduced by a short text unveiling its influences and highlights, and illustrated with a gallery of carefully curated catwalk images. These showcase hundreds of spectacular clothes, details, accessories, beauty looks and set designs â€“ and, of course, the top fashion models who wore them on the runway. A rich reference section concludes the book.
