Formally launched in 1962, Yves Saint Laurent's eponymous house changed the shape of fashion. As the designer himself famously stated, "Fashions fade, style is eternal."
Vogue on Yves Saint Laurent chronicles Saint Laurent through the magazine's unparalleled archive of fashion journalism, runway critiques, and historic editorial layouts.
This volume is lavishly illustrated with imagery from leading photographers of the era, capturing the defining silhouettes, signature color palettes, and avant-garde spirit of the Saint Laurent legacy.
Christened "The Saint" by Vogue, Saint Laurent permanently altered the landscape of style by bridging the gap between high fashion and the global power of street trends. Recognizing the shift toward ready-to-wear, he launched his revolutionary Rive Gauche boutique line in 1966, democratizing luxury for a new generation.
From the sharp elegance of Le Smoking tuxedo suit to his vibrant peasant collections and the iconic Mondrian dress, his work captured the changing role of women in society.
