Yves Saint Laurent Inside Out (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

An intimate exploration of Yves Saint Laurent’s creative world, captured by photographer―and son of the couturier’s righthand woman, Anne-Marie Munoz― Carlos Munoz Yagüe.

Yves Saint Inside Out presents an extraordinarily intimate look into the fascinating world of creativity in the latter, sumptuous phase of Yves Saint Laurent’s career, between 1989 and his final collection in 2002.

The volume offers a comprehensive and multifaceted exploration of the life of an haute couture from informal, atmospheric portraits of 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. World-famous models also feature, captured during pre-collection fittings in the house’s grandiose salons and in electric backstage moments before the shows.

Photographer Carlos Munoz Yagüe’s private archives―letters, documents, drawings, and ephemera―show the life that he enjoyed as a “fly on the wall” in this rarefied universe and are 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 Inside Out is a must-have for the designer’s many fans and for fashion and photography enthusiasts everywhere.  300 color illustrations
