A stylish collection of legendary designer Yves Saint Laurents maxims on fashion, craft, women and inspiration, presented in an attractive gift format.

Founded by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge in 1962, 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.

The designer put the women who wore his clothes first (Whats most important in couture is the body we dress, the woman we dress, more so than the ideas we might have) and was determined to change attitudes of the era (Fashions purpose was not only to make a woman look beautiful, but also to reassure them and to give them confidence). He could be critical of the fashion industry (I adore clothes but I hate fashion) and saw himself as a craftsman who perfectly understood his customer (I think there are three kinds of designers. The big ones, the real ones, and those who know how to strike a chord with a woman just by making a very simple dress, or a very simple suit).

Presented in a beautiful package and accessible format, The World According to Yves Saint Laurent is the perfect gift for fashion fans, capturing the essence of a true visionary..
