The subtitle of Jeromine Savignon’s new book ‘Yves Saint Laurent’s Studio’ is ‘Mirror and Secrets’. There’s no better description. It’s the work of fashion historian Jeromine Savignon, who goes behind the scenes at YSL to discover and document the processes by which the designer creates his Haute Couture collections. With rare access to the studios, Savignon weaves the story of YSL’s creative journey, gaining insight into his systems. She uses exclusive sketches and photography, as well as pertinent commentary, to reveal how YSL, the man with mythic status, goes about making his clothes. It’s a sumptuous publication that opens up a hitherto hidden world.
Yves Saint Laurent’s Studio by Jeromine Savignon: Mirror and Secrets’ is published by Thames & Hudson on behalf of Actes Sud; £16; thamesandhudson.com
