This stunning book presents the couture, jewelry, and accessories inspired by the golds of Yves Saint Laurent from the 1960s to the 2000s. Gold has been featured heavily throughout the entirety of the designer’s work: from the very first buttons adorning his pea coats to dresses that appear entirely fashioned from gold, no collection escaped the couturier’s “golden” touch. “I love gold," Saint Laurent said. "It’s a magical color; when reflecting a woman, it’s the color of the sun.” As the official catalogue of the Gold, les ors d’Yves Saint Laurent exhibition in Paris, this keepsake volume presents Saint Laurent’s exquisite designs as we follow the thread of gold throughout his collections, offering special insight into the work and intricate techniques used to make the brocades, laces, lamés, leathers, and embroideries of YSL shine.

Antoni Gaudí fusionó orientalismo, formas naturales y materiales nuevos en una estética modernista única que colocó a Barcelona en el mapa global de la arquitectura. A través de nuevas fotografías, planos y dibujos realizados por el propio Gaudí, así como un extenso apéndice de todas sus obras que incluye mobiliario y proyectos inacabados, este... La vida de Antoni Gaudí (1852-1926) fue compleja y contradictoria. En su juventud se unió al movimiento nacionalista catalán y fue crítico con la Iglesia; hacia el final de su vida se dedicó por completo a la construcción de un espectacular templo: la Sagrada Familia. De joven, Gaudí llevaba una vida social glamurosa digna de un dandi. En el momento de su muerte, atropellado por un tranvía en las calles de Barcelona, iba tan mal vestido que los transeúntes creyeron que se trataba de un vagabundo. La incomparable arquitectura de Gaudí es una muestra de la complejidad de sus múltiples facetas. De las brillantes superficies y las formas orgánicas de la Casa Batlló a la matriz hispanoárabe de la Casa Vicens, su estilo modernista único muestra influencias del orientalismo, las formas naturales, los nuevos materiales y la fe religiosa. Aún hoy, su estética es reconocida en todo el mundo.
