Yves Saint Laurent

Yves Saint Laurent transgressed the traditional forms of fashion to invent a multitude of new silhouettes - pure, abstract, geometric, or graphic.

Examining forty years in the couturier's career, this volume features three chapters that focus on key aspects of his designs : Minimalism, Colors, and Black and White. It explores Yves Saint Laurent's incessant modernity as well as his reflections on the origins of form, offering enlightening parallels with the history of twentieth-century art.
