Résumé

From his inaugural collection in 1962 to his final presentation in 2002, Yves Saint Laurent conceived one-of-a-kind accessories to complement his legendary couture clothing. Designed and edited in close collaboration with the Fondation Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent, Yves Saint Laurent Accessories is the only book to date to shed light on the exquisite and rarely documented jewellery, hats, shoes, and handbags that elevated the outfits created by one of the most influential fashion designers of all time. - Patrick Mauriès is a French writer, editor, and journalist. He has written over forty titles, including books on Christian Lacroix, Karl Lagerfeld, Yves Saint Laurent, Jean-Paul Goude, and Chanel. He is a regular contributor to Vogue, Purple Magazine, AD, and The World of Interiors. Key Selling Points - The only book on Yves Saint Laurent's accessories and an unprecedented glimpse into his highly confidential archives. - Includes YSL's most iconic pieces, such as the stilettos designed for the Mondrian dress and the bird-shaped earrings inspired by Picasso, as well as lesser-known pieces such as bridal hair accessories, belts, and gloves. - Features specially commissioned photography of the accessories alongside a treasure trove of rare materials including preparatory sketches, intimate portraits of Saint Laurent at work, and behind-the-scenes snapshots of models. - The book's release is timed to coincide with the opening of two museums dedicated to YSL's work and career in Paris and Marrakech.
