THE LITTLE GUIDE TO YVES SAINT LAURENT: STYLE TO LIVE by ORANGE HIPPO, HEADLINE PUBLISHING GROUP

This little book tracks French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent's wild ride in fashion-and it is packed with fun facts and quotes about the legend. There's no doubt, YSL was a game changer, flipping traditional men's styles into fierce looks for the 60s ladies. Think the iconic tuxedo suit or the safari jackets, this Parisian couturier helped democratise fashion-his was one of the first houses to have a ready-to-wear line. Despite battling personal demons like depression and addiction, YSL reigned supreme in fashion for 50 years, with his initials now standing for pure style legacy.
