“You represent for me not only love but independent elegance” – (A letter from Yves Saint Laurent to Betty Catroux)
In 1967, Yves Saint Laurent met his female double, Betty Catroux who was to became one of his major muses. In the eyes of this iconic fashion designer, the Chanel model embodied the couturier’s feminine ideal and the androgynous woman better than anyone else.
In a new exhibition by Anthony Vaccarello (current Artistic Director Saint Laurent) key pieces of clothing and accessories collected by Catroux will be displayed at the Museum Yves Saint Laurent Paris. This supporting book offers an artist’s vision of this icon through photographs from the Yves Saint Laurent museum collections and Catroux’s personal collection.
