As fashion editor of Harper's Bazaar and editor-in-chief of Vogue, Diana Vreeland-and her passion, charm, insouciance, and genius for style--energized and inspired the fashion world for fifty years. In this glittering autobiography she takes us around the world with her, revealing her obsession with fashion high and low--pink plastic poodles, for example--and dropping timeless sayings like, "As you know, the French like the French very much." A fabulous, witty read.

Yves Saint Laurent

"I want to give haute couture a kind of wink, a sense of humour&#151;to introduce the whole sense of freedom one sees in the street into high fashion; to give couture the same provocative and arrogant look as punk&#151;but of course with luxury and dignity and style." So says Yves Saint Laurent, the fashion designer who, for over a quarter of a century, has been hailed as a fashion genius&#151;"the master of the streets of the world" as Diana Vreeland puts it. Here are more than 200 of his greatest designs, dramatically reproduced in color and black and white. Also included are a revealing autobiographical essay by Yves Saint Laurent himself and fascinating insights by Catherine Deneuve, Paloma Picasso-Lopez, Marella Agnelli and others.

Jean Michel Schlumberger was a French jewelry designer especially well known for his work at Tiffany &amp; Co. He sketched constantly during his youth, but his parents tried to discourage his artistic interest by refusing to allow him to undertake formal training. Schlumberger began his career creating buttons for Elsa Schiaparelli in the 1930s. Schiaparelli later commissioned him to design costume jewelry for her firm. Schlumberger's designs at Tiffany &amp; Co. were remarkable for their whimsical interpretations of natural forms. He was especially inspired by sea creatures and other animals. Diana Vreeland wrote that Schlumberger "appreciates the miracle of jewels. For him, they are the ways and means to the realization of his dreams. One of the most famous pieces that Schlumberger created was the mounting for the famed Tiffany Diamond, which was in the firm's collection since the nineteenth century. The brooch, entitled "Bird on a Rock", incorporates the impressive 128.54 carats (25.71 g) yellow diamond in a fanciful setting typical of Schlumberger's style.
