The little book of Yves Saint Laurent
Yves Saint Laurent is a unique, daring and astonishingly creative designer, credited with elevating haute couture to an art form, transforming the fashion show into a spectacle of breathtaking proportions and revolutionising the gendered norms of women's fashion. The Little Book of Yves Saint Laurent traces Saint Laurent's beginnings in Algeria as a young man making miniature garments from scraps of fabric, and describes, with beautiful photographs and insightful text, the designer's rise from apprentice to Christian Dior's most trusted man. Saint Laurent founded his own fashion house in 1961, created his famous trouser suit "the dinner jacket", introduced the leather jacket to the fashion world and stunned the fashion world with his blend of elegance and artistic drama.
