YVES SAINT LAURENT INSIDE OUT

Yves Saint Laurent: Inside Out presents an extraordinarily intimate insight into a fascinating world of creativity in the latter, sumptuous phase of Saint Laurent`s career, between 1989 and his final collection in 2002.The book offers a comprehensive and multi-faceted exploration of the life of an haute couture house: from informal, atmospheric portraits of Yves Saint Laurent at work in his studio, drawing and creating, to the behind-the-scenes work of the `petites mains` in the ateliers, the skilled army of artisans whose activity is rarely documented. The house`s world-famous models also feature, captured during pre-collection fittings in the house`s grandiose salons and in electric backstage moments before the shows.Private archive materials ` letters, documents, drawings, and ephemera ` that situate the protagonists and give context to the unique position that the young Carlos enjoyed as a `fly on the wall` in this rarefied universe are also included in the book, and published here for the first time.A moving and visually stunning tribute to the iconic Yves Saint Laurent house as you`ve never seen it before, Yves Saint Laurent: Inside Out will be a must-have for fashion and photography fans.
