'A photographic encyclopaedia of one of the 20th century's greatest creators' The Business of Fashion Founded by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé in 1961, shortly after the young couturier left his post at the helm of Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent would soon become one of the most successful and influential haute couture houses in Paris. Introducing Le Smoking, the first tuxedo suit for women, in 1966, Saint Laurent also presented iconic art-inspired creations, from Mondrian dresses to precious Van Gogh embroidery and the famous Ballets Russes collection. This definitive publication opens with a concise history of the house, followed by a brief biographical profile of Yves Saint Laurent, before exploring the collections themselves, organized chronologically. Each collection is introduced by a short text unveiling its influences and highlights, and illustrated with a gallery of carefully curated catwalk images. These showcase hundreds of spectacular clothes, details, accessories, beauty looks and set designs - and, of course, the top fashion models who wore them on the runway. A rich reference section concludes the book.

One of the most distinctive and influential designers of the second half of the twentieth century, Yves Saint Laurent takes his place in the pantheon of French couturiers, alongside Coco Chanel, Christian Dior, and Jeanne Lanvin. Yves Saint Laurent, the first comprehensive retrospective of his life’s work, will accompany an exhibition of some 250 garments from the collection of the Fondation Pierre Bergé–Yves Saint Laurent at the Petit Palais in Paris. From his early days working under Dior and heading the House of Dior after his mentor’s death, to the opening of his first prêt a porter shop on the Rive Gauche and the debut of the Le Smoking tuxedo, to the muses he adored, Loulou de la Falaise and Catherine Deneuve among them, this volume reveals the breadth and scope of the designer’s entire career. With a preface by Pierre Bergé, author Faride Chenoune explores the sources of inspiration that drove Saint Laurent’s continuous innovation, drawing upon painting, sculpture, theater, opera, literature, and cinema.

Im Juli 1999 lud Michael Jackson den 23-jährigen Arno Bani zu einem geheimen Fotoshooting ein, nachdem er seine Fotografien in den Mode-Seiten des Sunday Times bewundert hatte. Das Ergebnis waren 700 Fotografien, die ursprünglich für das Cover von Jacksons Album Invincible aus dem Jahr 2001 gedacht waren, jedoch von seiner Plattenfirma zugunsten weniger herausfordernder Kunstwerke abgelehnt wurden. Bis jetzt wurde kein Teil dieses außergewöhnlichen Bildmaterials der Öffentlichkeit präsentiert. Dieses Buch bietet der Welt nun den ersten Blick auf die gesamte Sammlung von Porträts sowie alle Kontaktabzüge, die von Jackson selbst annotiert wurden. Es weckt bereits großes Interesse und Spekulationen in der Presse und online unter Jacksons Fans.
