A bold and fashionable look at the iconic golds of Yves Saint Laurent from the 1960s to the 2000s, Gold sparkles as it conjures up the true treasures of Saint Laurent's legacy and spirit.

This stunning book presents the couture, jewelry, and accessories inspired by the golds of Yves Saint Laurent.

Gold has been featured heavily throughout the entirety of the designer's work: from the very first buttons adorning his pea coats to dresses that appear entirely fashioned from gold, no collection escaped the couturier's golden touch. I love gold, Saint Laurent said. It's a magical color; when reflecting a woman, it's the color of the sun.

As the official catalogue of the Gold, les ors d'Yves Saint Laurent exhibition in Paris, this keepsake volume presents Saint Laurent's exquisite designs as we follow the thread of gold throughout his collections, offering special insight into the work and intricate techniques used to make the brocades, laces, lamés, leathers, and embroideries of YSL shine.

Curated by Elsa Janssen, the director of the legendary Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris, and fashion historian Yvane Jacob, Yves Saint Laurent: Gold draws on a large number of archival documents, interviews, and other resources such as films and shows, presenting how the cultural, artistic, and social contexts of the time, especially the women's rights movement, resulted in these timeless designs.

From the jeweled dress designed for his Autumn/Winter 1966 collection and photographed by David Bailey, to the sequined dresses worn by Zizi Jeanmaire and Catherine Deneuve, Gold sparkles as it conjures up the true treasures of Saint Laurent's legacy and spirit.
