Yves Saint Laurent Inside Out

The coffee-table book 'Yves Saint Laurent: Inside Out' offers an extraordinarily intimate insight into a fascinating world of creativity in the final, opulent phase of Saint Laurent's career, between 1989 and his last collection in 2002.

The book offers a comprehensive and multifaceted exploration of the life of an haute couture house: from informal, atmospheric portraits of Yves Saint Laurent at work in his studio, drawing and creating, to the behind-the-scenes work of the "petites mains" in the ateliers, the skilled army of artisans whose activity is rarely documented. The house's world-famous models are also featured, photographed while trying on for the collection in the house's grandiose salons and during electric backstage moments for the shows.

Private archival materials - letters, documents, drawings and ephemera - that situate the main characters and give context to the unique position young Carlos enjoyed as a "fly on the wall" in this rarefied universe are also included in the book and are published here for the first time.

Yves Saint Laurent: Inside Out is a moving and visually stunning tribute to the iconic Yves Saint Laurent house as you have never seen it before and will be a must-see for fashion and photography fans.
