Yves Saint Laurent – författare

Presenting the love-themed designs created by fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent for his friends and collaborators, this beautifully produced edition is a perfect gift: stylish, heartfelt, and visually unforgettableIn 1970, Yves Saint Laurent created the first in a series of poster-like greeting cards he sent each year to friends, collaborators, and clients.For the next thirty-eight years, until his death in 2007, Saint Laurent designed bespoke compositions using collage, drawing, gouache, and bold, varied color palettes. While many of these works were inspired by Morocco—where he often created them—they also reflect the influence of artists, such as Georges Braque, Jean Cocteau, Andy Warhol, and Henri Matisse.Each card is a unique, striking, and personal expression of the legendary designer’s imagination. What unites them is the word “LOVE,” always featured somewhere in the design.This updated edition of Yves Saint Laurent: LOVE includes a brand-new layout with 16 additional pages, captions that provide insight into Saint Laurent’s life, a luxuriously stunning cover, and an introduction from Maxime Catroux, Saint Laurent’s goddaughter and the vice president of the Yves Saint Laurent Museum. The foreword by French fashion writer Patrick Mauriès, which accompanied the original book, remains.Together, the vivid imagery and the text written by those close to Saint Laurent form a meditation on love that is a treat for the eye as well as the heart.
