The Beautiful Fall: Lagerfeld, Saint Laurent, and Glorious Excess in 1970s Paris
by Alicia Drake

“ Paris in the ’70s was a fashion revolution, the beginning of fashion as rock-star spectacle, and the world went wild for it. Two titanic geniuses Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld sparked that tumultuous decade. Americans came to Paris in droves–from Andy Warhol and Jerry Hall to Bianca Jagger –to be part of this irresistible moment.
