New Mags Little Book of Valentino
Founded by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé in 1961, shortly after the departure of the young fashion designer at the head of Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent would soon become one of the most successful and influential haute couture houses in Paris. Introducing Le Smoking, the first women's tuxedo costume, in 1966, Saint Laurent also presents iconic artistically inspired creations, from Mondrian dresses to precious Van Gogh embroidery and the famous Ballets Russes collection.
