時裝界的革命先驅Yves Saint Laurent
奢華精品品牌聖羅蘭 (Yves Saint Laurent)由同名設計師Yves Saint Laurent(伊夫•聖羅蘭)和其伴侶Pierre Bergé於1961年創立,為時尚注入許多革命性的視野。1966年聖羅蘭推出黑色煙裝系列(Le Smoking)打破女裝界線,開創女裝現代及自由化的先鋒。聖羅蘭先生更將藝術家作品反映在他的創作上,推出了從荷蘭抽象幾何圖案畫家Piet Mondrian作品所發想的蒙德里安裙系列(Mondrian Dress),到珍貴的梵谷刺繡及轟動1976年著名的俄羅斯芭蕾系列(Ballets Russes),都成為了聖羅蘭極具標誌性的作品。
《聖羅蘭經典圖鑑》首先以聖羅蘭先生的簡短傳記開場,接著按時間順序逐一介紹其創作系列。每個系列都有文字介紹,揭示系列的影響與亮點,並用精美的時裝走秀圖像進行細緻說明。不僅展示了聖羅蘭數以百計的壯觀服飾設計,還有設計細節、配飾、佈景設計,讓時裝秀成為一場光彩奪目的動態藝術作品。
Founded by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé in 1961, shortly after the young couturier left his post at the helm of Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent would soon become one of the most successful and influential haute couture houses in Paris. Introducing Le Smoking, the first tuxedo suit for women, in 1966, Saint Laurent also presented iconic art-inspired creations, from Mondrian dresses to precious Van Gogh embroidery and the famous Ballets Russes collection.
This definitive publication opens with a concise history of the house, followed by a brief biographical profile of Yves Saint Laurent, before exploring the collections themselves, organized chronologically. Each collection is introduced by a short text unveiling its influences and highlights, and illustrated with a gallery of carefully curated catwalk images. These showcase hundreds of spectacular clothes, details, accessories, beauty looks and set designs – and, of course, the top fashion models who wore them on the runway. A rich reference section concludes the book.
