Fabulous new book on Yves Saint Laurent out soon!


We are very excited about a gorgeous new book coming out at the end of the month and just want to tell you a bit about it..!

'The Private World of Yves Saint Laurent & Pierre Berge' unveils the private realm of YSL and his lifelong friend and business partner, Pierre Berge. The book looks at the sumptuous interiors of YSL's home, focusing on the prolific 40-year collection of art and objects.
These include important works by Picasso, Matisse, and Mondrian, Old Master paintings by Goya, Ingres and Gericault, and masterpieces of furniture, sculpture and silver from the Renaissance to Art Deco.
Following the death of Yves Saint Laurent last year, the collection is to be dispersed in what is sure to be an historic auction at the Grand Palais in Paris. Ivan Terestchenko’s beautiful photographs of the interiors of the homes of Yves Saint Laurent – from Paris to Tangier, from Deauville to Marrakech - capture these exquisite pieces in situ for one last time.

Praise for the book: “This book, revealing a rare union of passion, taste and supreme connoisseurship, stands as a monument to two of the greatest taste-makers of our time.”

A legendary designer; a legendary collection; legendary interiors.
