ISBN: 9780500028001
Author: Emilile Hammen
Number of Pages: 128

Showcasing more than sixty pieces from the Pierre Berge-Yves Saint Laurent Foundation and the Museum of Lace and Fashion collections, Sheer highlights the designer’s mastery over transparent fabrics.

Through archival drawings and photographs, and newly shot sheer silhouettes designed by Yves Saint Laurent from the collections of the Musee Yves Saint Laurent Paris and the Museum for Lace and Fashion, Calais,Sheer: The Diaphanous Creations of Yves Saint Laurenthighlights the couturier’s pioneering work in lace and other sheer fabrics, uncovering how he was able to overturn codes of unveiling the body to present a new, powerful and sensual feminine figure.

The book shows how he worked to ‘reveal’ the body of the woman wearing his clothes with both elegance and audacity: the Nude Dress of 1968, for example, made entirely of transparent chiffon, provided ‘modesty’ in the form of ostrich feathers. Original outfits, sketches, collection boards and fabric swatches give an intimate window into the designs, while photographs of models and clients such as Catherine Deneuve and Naomi Campbell bring to life the designer’s creations in a way that still shocks even now.

Sheeris an essential read for fashion fans, and a fascinating and unique look at the work of one of the great designers.
