Yves Saint Laurent's enduring impact on fashion and culture is explored through more than 50 of the fashion house's iconic pieces. Joining the house of Dior at the age of just 18, it was obvious that this fashion upstart had a glorious career ahead of him. Forged in the famous French house it wasn't long before YSL was launching his own boutique. He reinvented women's wear and transformed it into daring pieces such as the Le Smoking tuxedo and the Saharienne safari jacket - both instances of borrowing from menswear to create something bold, striking, and a little bit scandalous. YSL championed the concept of 'ready-to-wear', bringing high-end fashion to a whole new audience. His eponymous label created countless stunning garments and has been worn by both the famous and the infamous - from Catherine Deneuve and Jerry Hall to Margot Robbie and Nicki Minaj. YSL is a true style icon whose genius is celebrated in this beautifully illustrated title.
