This book, by photographer Carlos Muñoz-Yagüe, son of Anne-Marie Muñoz, the historic head of the Yves Saint Laurent studio, offers an extraordinarily intimate glimpse into a fascinating world of creativity in the final, sumptuous phase of Saint Laurent's career, between 1989 and his last collection in 2002.

The book offers a comprehensive and multifaceted panorama of the life of a haute couture house: from informal portraits of Yves Saint Laurent at work in his studio, designing and creating, to the behind-the-scenes work of the 'petites mains' in the ateliers, the skilled army of artisans whose activity is rarely documented. The fashion house's famous models are also present, captured during pre-collection fittings in the house's grandiose salons and in the electric moments backstage before the shows.

Private archives - letters, documents, drawings and ephemera - that situate the protagonists and give context to the unique position Carlos Muñoz-Yagüe enjoyed in this rarefied world, are also included in the book and published here for the first time.
