Yves Saint Laurent Hardcover – June 1, 2010

This is a beautiful and compact book. If you are interested in fashion design and history of fashion, and specifically a fan of Yves Saint Laurent - this is a must-have one.

Purchased this book to display as a great decor piece. Adds a nice touch especially placed next to like book(brands). Whether stand alone or paired this book is a nice addition to a modern setting. I would definitely recommend this book for purchase. Fast shipping and arrived in perfect condition.

I decided to do a green, black, gold and white room. Well the book for right in even though I wanted it open. It’s a beautiful books and it has a great picture on every page. The book came brand new wrapped up in plastic to keep from getting damage.

The book is a little smaller than I thought but still a cute decor piece nonetheless. I thought it was super informational as well! I loved the images and am not sure why people were complaining. I mean it may not be the best or most thorough per say but still pretty good if you loved this period of time in fashion. Also am OBSESSED with the quote on the back: "What do I want to do? Shock people. Make them stop and think."

The media could not be loaded. I’m in love with this book even tho it’s used it’s in amazing condition happy to have found this gem

This book is exactly what I was looking for about Yves Saint Laurent. The photos are brilliant and colorful with detailed information of each one. YSL was a legendary designer and the author covered his talented journey in the fashion world wonderfully! I would recommend this book for anyone interested in fashion or modeling, it reflects how timeless his designs were. There are also great photos of some famous models too. It takes you back to a special time when even in the fashion world things were more simple and people really dressed for the occasion. A treasure to keep nearby for reference or to escape.

I was lucky enough to go to Paris and see this exhibit in person and this book gives the reader the chance to experience the YSL exhibit in the comfort of their own home. The book is just as informative and comprehensive as the exhibit and complements the exhibit very well. The reader get a better insight to the life of Saint Laurent and who he was. As well as learning about his choices in fashion with amazing illustration. This book is great for any lover of art and/or fashion. Truly amazing felt like I was in Paris seeing the exhibit in person while reading this book.

great glimpse into the past. if you are a fashion photographer or a designer get it. if not...it might be a little to specific for the casual reader. it for sure is the only book of its kind ive seen...the details of each part of this collection is shown from the original sketches along with swatches and patterns. opening this book is like stepping back into time. 1971 that is. i like it : )
