One could say this is Yves Saint Laurent’s ‘oeuvre’ put in a compact library. The four books contain YSL fashion history through his Haute Couture collections. Each book represents a decade of YSL, from his Mondrian dress in 1965 to his Vincent van Gogh ‘hommage’ in 1988.
The 81 Haute Couture collections are presented with the sketch, a piece of cloth from which the design was made, a description of the ‘atelier’ where the design was produced, the model who wore it on the catwalk and in which order that was.
