Yves Saint Laurent Coloring Book

This elegant, imaginative coloring book explores the dynamic, fanciful creations of iconic fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, who headed the House of Dior at the age of twenty-one before launching his own design house at age twenty-five. He became famous for the "beatnik" look in the sixties, as well as creating the tuxedo suit for women, and his colorful life was the subject of a recent feature film, Saint Laurent. The book's line drawings for coloring are based on many of the designer's original sketches for dresses over the years, accompanied by full-color photos of original dresses for reference. In these pages, one can see the breadth and versatility of his creations; there are designs inspired by harlequins and the Carnival of Venice, Pop Art and Mondrian, and the cultures of Asia, Africa, and beyond.
