YVES SAINT LAURENT: GOLD

This stunning book presents the couture, jewelry, and accessories inspired by the golds of Yves Saint Laurent from the 1960s to the 2000s. Gold has been featured heavily throughout the entirety of the designer’s work: from the very first buttons adorning his pea coats to dresses that appear entirely fashioned from gold, no collection escaped the couturier’s “golden” touch. “I love gold," Saint Laurent said. "It’s a magical color; when reflecting a woman, it’s the color of the sun.” As the official catalogue of the Gold, les ors d’Yves Saint Laurent exhibition in Paris, this keepsake volume presents Saint Laurent’s exquisite designs as we follow the thread of gold throughout his collections, offering special insight into the work and intricate techniques used to make the brocades, laces, lamés, leathers, and embroideries of YSL shine.
