Yves Saint Laurent and his designs, as captured by the greatest photographers of the 20th century
Yves Saint Laurent collaborated with some of the greatest photographers of the 20th century. For over four decades, until the closing of his fashion house in 2002, his creations were captured by cutting-edge photographers - including such legends as Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, David Bailey, Helmut Newton, William Klein, Sarah Moon, Annie Leibovitz, Paolo Roversi, and Juergen Teller - while also posing for them, resulting in iconic portraits that helped to shape his own image as well as that of his brand.
Featuring a diverse selection of both iconic and lesser-known images, together with portraits and archive documents, Yves Saint Laurent and Photography shines new light on the world of the genius couturier, tracing both the course of fashion and the history of 20th-century photography.
