Where it came from
Published in 2010 by La Martinière, this volume serves as a profound visual and narrative tribute to Yves Saint Laurent, compiled by his long-term partner and business co-founder, Pierre Bergé. The book was conceived shortly after the designer's passing in 2008 as a definitive archival retrospective, capturing the evolution of the fashion house from its inception in the early 1960s through Saint Laurent's final collections.
The design of the book emphasizes the intimacy of the creative process, featuring rare sketches, personal photographs, and documentation of iconic garments like the Mondrian dress and the Le Smoking tuxedo. By centering the curation on Bergé’s personal archives, the publication sought to provide an authoritative account of Saint Laurent’s influence on modern aesthetics and his role in liberating the feminine wardrobe, ultimately receiving critical acclaim for its editorial depth and preservation of fashion history.
