Yves Saint Laurent: Love : New Edition - Maxime Catroux

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 Mauri�s, 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.
