Marguerite Duras - Yves Saint Laurent: Icons of Fashion Design - Schirmer/Mosel 2010

Acclaimed by the critic as an "intoxicating book", this book remains the most attractive homage to the uncrowned king of haute couture. Pictures taken by the world's leading fashion photographers trace the success of Saint Laurent's designs, which, since conquering the fashion world five decades ago, have caused sensation after sensation each year. The book also constitutes a high-quality review of fashion photography over a period of forty years, collecting YSL dresses in 135 images created by fashion photography's greatest 20th century heroes.
Essay wrote in 1987 by Marguerite Duras in which she describes sympathetically the aura of personal enchantment that surrounded Yves Saint Laurent and permeated his creations.
