The ultimate insider’s glimpse at some of John Galliano’s most exuberant ready-to-wear and couture shows for the French fashion house.

Yves Saint Laurent

This book represents Roxanne Lowit’s personal photographic history of Saint Laurent, the man and the fashion, from 1978, the year she first met him, to the last show he gave in 2002. In stunningly composed reportage, Lowit invites the reader to experience the backstage environment at YSL’s shows as Lowit experienced it herself.
