Yves Saint Laurent by Roxanne Lowitt
YVES SAINT LAURENT
($50.00 hardcover, 9780500517604) is a dazzling portrait of the designer and his world of fashion over the last 25 years of his career by legendary backstage fashion photography pioneer Roxanne Lowit.
The subject intrigued me because he defined the 1970s in terms of cool cutting edge fashion. An accomplishment I particularly admired is that he:
He revolutionized women’s evening wear when he introduced le smoking, a woman’s tuxedo, and made couture accessible to a younger generation. ~ From Thames & Hudson website.

I like that there are 200 photos to look at in the book
As a librarian at a school with a fashion program, this would be a great addition for my Library.
I have always dreamt of what it would be like to be famous an don the runway! I would love to find out what life is like on the road.
I love the story that the pictures tell. I was born in the 70’s and not at all aware of fashion through most of the 80’s so it’s always been an intriguing time to me.
I like the behind the scenes photos.
Thanks for the contest.
I love that it has pictures of his work of the years. According to another reader said there are lots of amazing backstage photos and “life” photos. This looks like a very interesting book.
I like that it features pictures of his haute couture collections (and ready to wear too) at the original debuts!
I like how it tells what went on behind the scenes
I like that there are many “behind the scenes” type photographs because i find it intriguing.
I think my favorite thing besides just learning about how the fashion house got started and the designer, would be the years of fashion chronicled in pictures.
The book covers my teen years and I can relate to the styles sounds interesting!
In reading the summary, it sounds exciting to be able to also enjoy the memories of Yves Saint Laurent, throughout his life.
it tell of a great designer and his pic
Taking the view of fashion to places we don’t all get to see. I like behind the scenes views!
Awesome book for any fashionista!

I am most interested in seeing the photos that are in the book, i love that he was famous for revolutionizing women’s fashion.
I want to read Catherine Deneuve and Lucie de la Falaise’s contributions!
I am most interested in seeing the backstage photography section and the high fashion!
I like that there are 200 photos to look at in the book.
There is a lot of “unknown” for me regarding ESL, but I have always been interested. I am also very curious about the era and the social scene, and it sounds like this might be a bit of a mirror of the times, particularly in the fashion and celebrity space.
I think the cover design is absolutely amazing…and the ability to see behind the scene photos of his life is fascinating…what a great book.
