Since the 1960s, gold has been used in touches to illuminate Yves Saint Laurent's creations. Reminiscent of the lights of Oran and Marrakech, a symbol of splendor and celebration, it adorns both haute couture and ready-to-wear pieces, inspiring jewelry and accessories. It is also omnipresent in the art collection he patiently built up throughout his life with his partner Pierre Bergé. Through a hundred photographs, sketches, and testimonies from the couturier's contemporaries, this book allows us to rediscover the personality of Yves Saint Laurent and delve into the heart of his expertise and inspirations. It alternately evokes the exaltation of the power of women, the influence of art, and the carefree spirit of the Palace years.
