Este libro narra el icónico desfile celebrado en el Palacio de Versalles en 1973, donde cinco diseñadores estadounidenses (Oscar de la Renta, Halston, Bill Blass, Stephen Burrows y Anne Klein) se enfrentaron a cinco casas de alta costura francesa (Yves Saint Laurent, Hubert de Givenchy, Pierre Cardin, Emanuel Ungaro y Marc Bohan para Dior). Mas que moda, fue un duelo cultural:- Los estadounidenses apostaron por modelos negras, musica disco y dinamismo- Los franceses ofrecieron elegancia clasica y teatralidad- El evento marco un antes y un despues en la percepcion global de la moda americanaLa autora, ganadora del Premio Pulitzer, reconstruye esta noche legendaria con entrevistas, contexto historico y analisis social, mostrando como la moda puede ser un reflejo del poder, la raza, el arte y la politica.

Yves Saint Laurent colaboró con algunos de los fotógrafos más destacados del siglo XX. Durante más de cuatro décadas, hasta el cierre de su casa de moda en 2002, Saint Laurent y sus creaciones fueron retratadas por fotografos de vanguardia, incluyendo leyendas como Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, David Bailey, Helmut Newton, William Klein, Sarah Moon, Annie Leibovitz, Paolo Roversi y Juergen Teller, dando como resultado imagenes iconicas que ayudaron a forjar su propia imagen y la de su marca. Yves Saint Laurent and photography arroja nueva luz sobre el mundo de este genio, rastreando tanto la trayectoria de la moda como la historia de la fotografia del siglo XX. Este libro, de hermoso diseño, presenta una asombrosa gama de imagenes: impresionantes fotografias de moda de modelos como Audrey Hepburn, Catherine Deneuve, Naomi Campbell y Kate Moss; retratos de Saint Laurent y documentos de archivo nunca antes vistos, todo ello empaquetado en un lujoso volumen de gran tamaño. Con prologo de Madison Cox y Christoph Wiesner, y textos de Elsa Janssen, Simon Baker, Serena Bucalo-Mussely, Alice Morin y Clementine Cuinet
