YVES SAINT LAURENT: THE MADNESS OF ACCESSORIES

From his very first collection in 1962 to his last in 2002, Yves Saint Laurent designed unique accessories to adorn his haute couture outfits. Yves Saint Laurent: La Folie de l'accessoire is the first book to highlight the superb jewelry, hats, shoes and handbags that have enhanced the legendary creations of one of the greatest couturiers of our time. The book includes cult accessories imagined by Yves Saint Laurent, such as the pumps created for the Mondrian dress or the bird-shaped earrings inspired by Braque, as well as lesser-known ones, like belts, gloves and bridal headdresses. The book features specially produced photographs of accessories and little-known treasures such as original sketches, intimate portraits of Yves Saint Laurent at work and never-before-seen Polaroids of models taken during runway preparation.
