Yves Saint Laurent: Forty Years of Creation

Yves Saint Laurent: Forty Years of Creation – Clothbound Edition Synopsis: This book is a celebration of the Yves Saint Laurent look, a combination of elegance and sophisticated artistry. It is also a book in which the premiere fashion photography of our time is represented, and a book in which "the subject and the object blend because each one is a work of art". Published in conjunction with an anniversary exhibition presented by the International Festival of Fashion Photography, this catalogue strikingly portrays the creative relationship between Yves Saint Laurent and the most talented photographers of the last decades, including: Nick Knight, Steven Meisel, Helmut Newton, Terry Richardson, Mario Sorrenti, Jeanloup Sieff, Juergen Teller and William Klein to name a few. Fifty one lush color photographs and eighty-four black and white, including archival material, underscore the timelessness of his fashions. In addition to featuring a collection of both new and historical photos, the book includes intimate interviews with many young designers, photographers and personalities who have all been influenced by Mr. Saint Laurent's creations through the years. This is a pre-owned hardcover book in very good used condition. This is a gorgeous clothbound book with a high-quality binding. There is no marking of the pages or cover, but some creasing/warping and signs of wear to the pages. It will still look excellent as a coffee table book!
