1961年，年轻的时装设计师伊夫•圣•洛朗(Yves Saint Laurent)和皮埃尔•贝尔热(Pierre Berge)离开克里斯汀•迪奥(Christian Dior)后不久，创立了伊夫•圣•洛朗(Yves Saint Laurent)，很快就成为巴黎最成功、最有影响力的高级时装品牌之一。1966年，圣罗兰推出了**套女性无尾晚礼服Le Smoking，并推出了标志性的艺术灵感创作，从蒙德里安(Mondrian)的连衣裙到珍贵的梵高(Van Gogh)刺绣，以及**的俄罗斯芭蕾舞剧系列。
这本权威出版物以一段简洁的历史开篇，接着是伊夫·圣·洛朗(Yves Saint Laurent)简短的传记简介，然后是按时间顺序排列的藏品本身。每一个系列都有一个简短的文字介绍，揭示了它的影响和亮点，并配有精心策划的t台图像画廊。这些展览展示了数百件壮观的服装、细节、配饰、美丽的外观和布景设计——当然，还有在t台上穿着它们的**时装模特。

Founded by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé in 1961, shortly after the young couturier left his post at the helm of Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent would soon become one of the most successful and influential haute couture houses in Paris. Introducing Le Smoking, the first tuxedo suit for women, in 1966, Saint Laurent also presented iconic art-

inspired creations, from Mondrian dresses to precious Van Gogh embroidery and the famous Ballets Russes collection. This definitive publication opens with a concise history of the house, followed by a brief biographical profile of Yves Saint Laurent, before exploring the collections themselves, organized chronologically. Each collection is introduced by a short text unveiling its influences and highlights, and illustrated with a gallery of carefully curated catwalk images. These showcase hundreds of spectacular clothes, details, accessories, beauty looks and set designs – and, of course, the top fashion models who wore them on the runway. A rich reference section concludes the book.
