Yves Saint Laurent: The Scandal Collection, 1971 offers a behind-the-scenes look at the controversial “Libération" collection that scandalized the fashion press—but ended up setting trends that conquered popular fashion.

Beautifully illustrated and documented with well-researched essays curated by Olivier Saillard and Dominique Veillon, this gorgeous volume is enriched with personal interviews and archival photographs of the show, the models, the designs, and the textile and print samples, as well as sketches and international press clippings.

For those who admire Saint Laurent’s life and work, for historians looking back at key moments in fashion history, and for designers looking for inspiration, this book and the work it displays will be a resource that will be referred to again and again. Whether as a gift for the fashionable or to leaf through and display as a coffee table book, The Scandal Collection, 1971 will not disappoint.

On January 21, 1971, couturier Yves Saint Laurent presented his spring-summer haute couture collection. Inspired by the garments of the war years, the collection included short dresses, platform shoes, square shoulders, and exaggerated makeup. The show caused an outrage among the public, the critics, and the press alike, earning it the title of “Paris’s ugliest collection.”

Nevertheless, the haute couture designs of the runway made their way to the boulevards, giving full sway to the “retro” trend that quickly conquered the streets.
 
Saint Laurent was one of France’s most prominent fashion designers. From his work at Dior to the time of his founding his eponymous YSL fashion label in 1962 to his death in 2008, his work was a force in an industry full of big names and successful houses. He developed his style to accommodate the changes in fashion during that period. He approached his aesthetic from a different perspective by helping women find confidence by looking both comfortable and elegant at the same time.

“His inspiration was drawn from World War II and the Occupation, he showed couture looks that included square shoulders, knee-length skirts, platform heels and simple patterned dresses . . . What Saint Laurent was doing, of course, was blurring the line between couture and ready-to-wear.” —New York Times

Durable looking and thin

I like the durable feel, modern look and slim design to be able to fit in any pants. Having a rough exterior helps with tight fit in the pants
