A Beautiful Fall : Fashion, genius and glorious excess in 1970s Paris
Author(s): Alicia Drake
In 1954 they were two young talents from the provinces, both dreaming of Paris, glamour and glory. Yves Saint Laurent was the enfant terrible inheritor of Dior's couture crown. Karl Lagerfeld was the freelance designer. But as the 70s turned to the 80s, heroin and Aids cast their shadow. This book chronicles this dangerous, and brazen time.
