The Little book of Yves Saint Laurent

Enigmatic, daring and astonishingly creative, Yves Saint Laurent is credited with the elevation of haute couture to fine art, turning the fashion show into a spectacle of breath-taking proportions, and revolutionising the gendered norms of womenswear. In beautiful photographs and insightful text, this pocket-sized book depicts the designer's ascent from fashion student to the right-hand of Christian Dior. After founding his own house in 1961, Saint Laurent astounded the fashion world with his blend of elegance and artistic drama.
