Welbeck Book Little Book Of Yves Saint Laurent

Yves Saint Laurent's Little Book is the exquisitely illustrated pocket-sized history of 60 years of innovative fashion design.

An enigmatic, audacious and surprisingly creative designer, Yves Saint Laurent is credited with elevating haute couture into a fine art, transforming the fashion show into a spectacle of breathtaking proportions and revolutionizing the gender norms of womenswear.

Describing Saint Laurent's beginnings in Algeria as a precocious boy making miniature garments out of scraps of fabric, Yves Saint Laurent's Little Book describes, in beautiful photography and insightful text, the designer's rise from right-hand fashion student by Christian Dior. After founding his couture house in 1961, Saint Laurent created his famous "le smoking" pantsuit, brought the leather jacket into the mainstream, and astounded the fashion world with his blend of elegance and artistic drama.

Yves Saint Laurent's Little Book is an elegant gift for any fashion lover.
