Yves Saint Laurent : La Folie De L'accessoire

From his very first collection in 1962 to his last in 2002, Yves Saint Laurent designed unique accessories to adorn his haute couture outfits.

This book is the first to highlight the beautiful jewellery, hats, shoes and handbags that have enhanced the legendary creations of one of the greatest couturiers of our time. It includes cult accessories created by Yves Saint Laurent, such as the pumps created for the Mondrian dress or the bird earrings inspired by Picasso, as well as lesser-known items such as belts, gloves and bridal headdresses.

The book includes specially made photographs of accessories and little-known treasures such as original sketches, intimate portraits of Yves Saint Laurent at work and previously unpublished Polaroids of models taken during the preparation of the fashion shows.
