A celebration of a visionary who revolutionised the world of fashion. Yves Saint Laurent: The Impossible Collection pays tribute to one of the greatest couturiers of all time, a man who redefined femininity with confidence, sophistication, and daring creativity.
From his first runway collection in 1962 to his final couture show in 2002, Yves Saint Laurent challenged conventions and transformed haute couture into modern art. This handcrafted Assouline volume curates 100 of his most iconic designs, from the legendary Le Smoking tuxedo and the Mondrian dress to his sensual Saharienne jacket and the dramatic Ballets Russes collection.
Each page, printed on art-quality paper and hand-tipped using traditional techniques, captures the elegance, innovation, and power that defined Saint Laurent’s legacy. This limited-edition collector’s book comes encased in a luxurious linen clamshell box, accompanied by white gloves and a signature Assouline tote.
