"I want to give haute couture a kind of wink, a sense of humour―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―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―"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. [This book was originally published in 1983 and has gone out of print. This edition is a print-on-demand version of the original book.]

A dazzling collection of Duane Michals’ portrait photography, featuring never-before-published images of some of the greatest actors, musicians, artists, and writers of the past fifty years
Duane Michals: Portraits presents for the first time a comprehensive overview of more than a half-century of portrait photographs―many of iconic cultural figures―by one of our era’s most influential and entertaining artists.
Duane Michals, the subject of a major retrospective exhibition organized by the Carnegie Museums in 2014 and scheduled to travel in 2018, has long been recognized for his inventive photo sequences, which shaped the work of several generations of artists. But even as he enjoys wide acclaim, a central body of work by the eighty-five-year-old artist remains little known.
For decades, Michals was a sought-after editorial photographer for leading magazines, portraying outstanding creative personalities of our era. This comprehensive selection of his inventive portraits―many not previously published in book form―accompanied by Michals’ inimitable, sometimes hilarious observations and reminiscences, will delight his fans and engage new admirers. The book features intimate and illuminating images of musical performers such as Barbra Streisand and Johnny Cash; actors from Dustin Hoffman and Robin Williams to Tilda Swinton; contemporary artists including Andy Warhol, David Hockney, and Jasper Johns; authors such as Norman Mailer and John Cheever; and “old masters” of modern art including René Magritte and Balthus. 150 illustrations in color and black and white
