Yves Saint Laurent, a legendary designer, left an indelible mark on fashion, craftsmanship, women, and inspiration. In 1962, he founded his renowned haute couture house, shortly after departing from Christian Dior. Saint Laurent's journey was marked by remarkable achievements, including the introduction of the first tuxedo suit for women in 1966. He showcased iconic art-inspired creations, such as Mondrian dresses, Van Gogh embroidery, and the renowned Ballets Russes collection.

At the heart of Saint Laurent's vision was his unwavering commitment to putting the women who wore his clothes first. He believed that the body, the woman, and their confidence were the essence of couture. He sought to challenge the prevailing attitudes of the era and empower women through his designs. Saint Laurent's craftsmanship was unparalleled, and he viewed himself as a true artist who understood his customers intimately. He recognized that there were three types of designers: the big ones, the real ones, and those who could strike a chord with women through simplicity.

The World According to Yves Saint Laurent is a captivating collection of his maxims, presented in an attractive gift format. This book encapsulates the essence of a true visionary, offering fashion enthusiasts a glimpse into the world of Yves Saint Laurent. Whether you're a fashion aficionado or seeking inspiration, this book is a must-have treasure that will captivate your senses and leave a lasting impression.
