Yves Saint Laurent Catwalk: The Complete Haute Couture Collections 1962-2002
by Suzy Menkes
A photographic encyclopaedia of one of the 20th century's greatest creators - The Business of Fashion
Founded by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé in 1961, shortly after the young couturier left his post at the helm of Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent quickly became 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, including Mondrian dresses, 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, illustrated with a gallery of carefully curated catwalk images. These showcase hundreds of spectacular clothes, details, accessories, beauty looks, and set designs – and, of course, the top fashion models who wore them on the runway.
A rich reference section concludes the book.
