ALEXANDRA BOULAT - YVES SAINT LAURENT

This intimate portrait of Yves Saint Laurent by French photographer Alexandra Boulat shows a glimpse of the designer in his Paris studio working on his final touches of his last haute couture collection of his 40-year career in fashion. Boulat succeeded to capture these moments of intimacy and creation exactly four decades after her father, the renowned photographer Pierre Boulat, had taken iconic images of Saint Laurent in his design studio for the launch of his fashion house in 1962.
