One of the most distinctive and influential designers of the second half of the twentieth century, Yves Saint Laurent takes his place in the pantheon of French couturiers, alongside Coco Chanel, Christian Dior, and Jeanne Lanvin. Yves Saint Laurent, the first comprehensive retrospective of his life’s work, will accompany an exhibition of some 250 garments from the collection of the Fondation Pierre Bergé–Yves Saint Laurent at the Petit Palais in Paris.
From his early days working under Dior and heading the House of Dior after his mentor’s death, 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, Loulou de la Falaise and Catherine Deneuve among them, this volume reveals the breadth and scope of the designer’s entire career. With a preface by Pierre Bergé, author Faride Chenoune explores the sources of inspiration that drove Saint Laurent’s continuous innovation, drawing upon painting, sculpture, theater, opera, literature, and cinema.

From Booklist
This luxurious volume, published to accompany the current retrospective of Yves Saint Laurent’s work at Paris’s Petit Palais, beautifully compiles the fashion designer’s professional craft and personal history. Bearer of the iconic initials YSL, the Algerian-born wunderkind entered into the fashion world as an art director for Christian Dior destined for industry success. The book, formatted partially as a time line, narrates Laurent’s life against the broader backdrop of French social and cultural life. Close friends and colleagues adorn this story with personal accounts of a troubled life lived in the spotlight that was not without its share of intrigue (addictions, failed collections). Those interested in fashion for fashion’s sake will enjoy the many brilliant, high-quality photographs and descriptions of every collection YSL created. Full-page profiles of Laurent’s most revolutionary styles, such as his women’s tuxedo and safari jacket, demonstrate the designer’s significant contribution to fashion history. At its core, this book is a thorough depiction of a man and his craft. --Annie Bostrom

A legend celebrated...
By J. Salzenstein
These days, celebrities lending their name to a brand is commonplace, a practice that's become - in our humble opinion - vulgar. Whether based on greed, narcissism, or simply bad management, it seems like every other Hollywood leading lady (and more and more, leading man) has a line of clothing, home goods, energy drinks, [insert name of nearly any other item you can think of here].
For every dozen Hollywood starlets or handful of douchebags (Ed Hardy/Christian Audigier comes to mind) hawking cheap wares at Macys, Kmart and QVC, however, there are one or two designers who've actually given up their blood, sweat, and tears - not to mention learning the art and possessing genuine creative talent - to legitimately deserve the right to put their name to a label. Dior, Fendi, Gucci, Chanel, Lanvin, Louis Vuitton... timeless, classic, beautiful brands - all of which carry a name from an actual person. Standing strong among them, with a rich history of creative brilliance, is Yves Saint Laurent.
The first tome to celebrate the sheer design genius of the man, Yves Saint Laurent represents a comprehensive retrospective of the designer, the icon, the legendary god of fashion who helped create the industry that we know today as fashion. A celebrity among celebrities, from his first couture collection to his last, Saint Laurent's clothes were celebrated and his brilliance admired- as well they should be.
As vibrant, diverse and fascinating as the man himself, Yves Saint Laurent - the book - plays excellent tribute to the artist. An accompaniment to a retrospective exhibition at the Petit Palais in Paris (featuring more than 300 garments; on view through August 29, 2010), it's a first-rate volume that's as full of history as it is photographs. Aside from his fashion, the volume highlights Saint Laurent's philosophy of style, with special attention paid to his muses- a select handful of women who he not only designed for, but adored.
Although he certainly created a few things that were a bit outside the norm (a perfect example being his knitted wedding dress from the mid-60s, which made the unfortunate woman wearing it look like an enormous tampon), Saint Laurent was known for his sophisticated style, albeit always with at least a touch of glamour. He understood women - and celebrated them; something instantly apparent in his designs. This volume brings that - as well as all the designer's nuances - to the general public, along with images of his hand-selected fabric samples, drawings, sketches, photographs, models... it would be exhausting if it weren't so exciting and enthralling.
At just under 400 pages with more than 200 full color illustrations, this is a coffee table book that should take its place at the top of the stack and remain there. Beautiful and fascinating from cover to cover, Yves Saint Laurent is the next best thing to a conversation with the designer himself.

Exhibition
By Nelson Kume
"Yves Saint Laurent" is the exhibition at the Petit Palais - Musée des Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris. Since March 11. Ends on August 29, 2010.
This catalogue-book contains the exhibition images of this amazing fashion designer,his life and work, born in 1936. He worked at Dior fashion house, launched "the trapeze line ("A" line) in 1958" ... "And in the 1960s, opened his own couture house, with innovative ideas also in their creations, especially the tube (straight line dress) with drawings by the painter Mondrian." (Braga, 2008, p. 87)
Endowed with vast cultural repertoire honored several artists including Vincent van Gogh, Serge Poliakoff, Pablo Picasso, Tom Wesselmann, Jean Cocteau, Georges Braque (a dress in an editorial in 1998 with then-model Carla Bruni, the current first lady). In the late 1960s, for womenwear launched a set of trousers and jacket. Since then, fashion has become a reflection of behavior and ideological identity. Revival, glam, tribes in the 1970s. Multiplicity in the 1980s, multimixed identity in the 1990s. He went through all this, imposing style and aesthetics fully unique, leaving his unmistakable mark.
Far beyond the more than 300 looks-outfits exposed, documentation of his production, his muses ,idols and admirers, Yves Saint Laurent left us a great, unique and timeless legacy: Style with attitude!
