Yves Saint Laurent's Studio: Mirror and Secrets

In Yves Saint Laurent's Studio: Mirror and Secrets, fashion historian Jérômine Savignon writes of the designer, "He once wrote, in a movingly introspective moment: 'I love above all else the rigor, the simplicity and the beauty of the classical. But my imagination, my pronounced gifts for invention, sometimes lead me towards the baroque, towards strangeness. That is also what keeps me from sterility, from becoming closed in. It’s the secret of my youth, this absolute eclecticism that governs my life. It is said that artists see the world with the eyes of a child. I think that, in spite of all the wisdom that is the Goal of my life, I shall continue to see life with the eyes of a child, my life, but most of all my work.' These few words say it all." Featured photograph, by Guy Marineau, is captioned, "The couturier at work in 1976, inspired perhaps by a Marlene Dietrich lookalike."
