Dior by Yves Saint Laurent is the second volume in an unprecedented series of books devoted to each designer of the renowned house of Dior since its inception. Carefully conserved in the world's great museums and institutions, these fashion treasures have been photographed and exclusively compiled for this immaculately illustrated coffee table book from Assouline.
Of all the great Parisian couture houses, Dior is perhaps the most famous and prestigious in the world, embodying Christian Dior's sublime vision of femininity, which Saint Laurent elaborated and evolved into the beginning of the tumultuous decade of the 1960s.
Featuring beautiful photographs by Laziz Hamani, this impressive volume encompasses Yves Saint Laurent's most iconic haute couture designs for the house of Dior, from the Trapoze silhouette of his debut Spring-Summer 1958 collection to the beatnik inspiration for Autumn-Winter 1960. Esteemed fashion journalist Laurence Benaom eloquently recounts details and anecdotes behind more than 30 selected pieces, providing profound insight into Saint Laurent's inspirations, influences, and vision for the evolution of the house of Dior.
