Yves Saint Laurent

By Farid Chenoune

This is the first comprehensive retrospective of Yves Saint Laurent. It will accompany an exhibition of some 250 garments from the collection of the Foundation Pierre Berge-Yves Saint Laurent at the Petit Palais in Paris. From his early days working under Dior, to the opening of his first prêt a porter shop on the Rive Gauche and the debut of the Le Smoking tuxedo, to the muses he adored, this volume reveals the breadth and scope of the designer’s entire career.
