| book description |

‘A photographic encyclopaedia of one of the 20th century’s greatest creators’ The Business of Fashion With 2.5 million copies in print, each high-end, cloth-bound volume in the bestselling Catwalk series features over 1,100 looks as they originally appeared on the catwalk, styled as the designer intended and sported by the world’s top models. These ten treasure troves of inspiration are must-have references for all fashion fans and professionals. Founded by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé in 1961, shortly after the young couturier left his post at the helm of Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent would soon become one of the most successful and influential haute couture houses in Paris. Introducing Le Smoking, the first tuxedo suit for women, in 1966, Saint Laurent also presented iconic art-inspired creations, from Mondrian dresses to precious Van Gogh embroidery and the famous Ballets Russes collection. This definitive publication opens with a concise history of the house, followed by a brief biographical profile of Yves Saint Laurent, before exploring the collections themselves, organized chronologically. Each collection is introduced by a short text unveiling its influences and highlights, and illustrated with a gallery of carefully curated catwalk images. These showcase hundreds of spectacular clothes, details, accessories, beauty looks and set designs – and, of course, the top fashion models who wore them on the runway. A rich reference section concludes the book.
