The Flowers of Yves Saint Laurent

Famed fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent’s passion for flowers and gardens was the source of endless inspiration to him. From a thousand and one rose buds to sprigs of lily of the valley, from an avalanche of bougainvillea to delicate poppy blooms, and from sheaves of wheat to majestic lilies, he employed flowers as a palette of patterns and techniques. This beautiful fashion book examines how flowers served as the designer’s muse throughout his life and work, presenting archival design sketches, photographs of the collections and runway shows, and behind-the-scenes snapshots of the masterful couturier, offering a unique interpretation of his work.
