Living for design tells of an artist who is more complex than his own most elaborate rendition; a man who can design a collection so perfectly that not a bead has to be changed, yet who is often in the grip of depression. It tells of heady commercial success and the relentless pressure of constantly inventing something new. It describes the madness of the collection shows- the press and buyers, beautiful people and fashion groupies, gossip and show-biz events. It traces the rise of the House of Saint Laurent from its dramatic beginnings in 1962 through YSL's shift from haute couture to ready-to-wear and tells of the worldwide value of the YSL label. Living for Design is a lively close -up of the fashion world, of the men and women who are part of that world, and principally of its superstar Yves Saint Laurent
