"Full of beautiful and fascinating inserts, this book invites you to discover the life and work of Yves Saint Laurent, the most famous and celebrated couturier in the world, a genius who used his talents to serve women. The central themes of his career are explored: his beginnings at Christian Dior, the launch of the tuxedo, his tribute collections to artists and writers, his costumes for the theatre, the personal greeting cards he designed, and the exhibitions and spectacularly staged public couture shows devoted to his creations. The book also tells the story of the unique relationship between Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé, the couture house they created in 1961, which rapidly became an empire, and the remarkable private art collection they amassed over the years. 'All About Yves' contains a wealth of images and many facsimiles of previously unpublished documents, including letters, original sketches and contact sheets, giving a comprehensive overview of the life and achievements of one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century."
