The life of fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent was a colourful one. Born in Oran, Algeria, in 1936, he moved to Paris in his early teens to pursue his passion for fashion before becoming the head of Dior in 1957 at the age of just 21. By the 1960s, he was at the helm of a revolution in women’s fashion. This sumptuous tome offers a detailed insight into the inner workings of Saint Laurent’s life and art. As you meander through the alphabet, you’ll encounter the people, places and things that inspired him: C is for Costumes, for instance, while J is for Jardin Majorelle, the glorious garden of his electric blue Moroccan retreat. You’ll also saunter along Paris’s Rive Gauche and discover more about his iconic Tuxedo. For fans of the brand and the man, this is a must-read this summer.
