Review
Takes readers . . . inside all eight of the couple's spectacular homes, from Paris to Marrakech.―Elle Decor
You'll agree that this is a book with which you will be enchanted. And if a little of that YSL flair rubs off on us, all the better.―Jennifer Boles, The Peak of Chic
(A) beautiful glimpse into their private world.―Habitually Chic
As he did with fashion, Yves seized at one moment in time, a taste that was in the air, to show his mastery. During the 1970s exoticism and Marrakech were currents in the air and St. Laurent became the authority. He was interested in Art Deco before it became fashionable, even before Andy Warhol and Karl Lagerfeld . . . St Laurent’s and Bergé’s taste is an expression of a culture and is always a story. When they decorated a house it was no longer an ordinary house: it became a story to tell.―Jacques Grange
The quintessence of very grand and highly personal French taste.―Le Figaro
A visually stunning book about a richly layered lifestyle built over the course of 40-plus years.―Home Design with Kevin Sharkey
In this lavish volume, the eight splendid homes . . . are presented in immaculate detail.―California Home + Design
Terestchenko’s photographs beautifully capture the opulence and eclecticism of their dwellings.―Clear

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely stunning
Gorgeous book for any YSL fan or anyone who admires superlative collections. Beautiful addition to my collection. Probably the most frequently picked up book off the coffee table when guests are over.
5.0 out of 5 stars Extraordinary book. Beautiful, sumptuous, rich photos and text.
As a collector of both fashion and interior design books, this book looked interesting (despite the cover). But, it exceeded my expectations: it's a visual feast. I was hoping for wonderful, inspirational photos, and it is a treasure trove. If you followed the YSL auction, this is an exhaustive look at their homes, antiques, collections in their proper context.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very Inspiring
This book is fabulous! The cost of the book is a little steep, so I always preview before I purchase. It is simply stunning and it eludes to the lifestyle that can be afforded by someone with unlimited resources. It is great for inspiration and dreams.The photographs are beautiful and the verbage is amazing.
5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing
Loved this book amazing images made me sooo jealous of their beautiful house and art collection. Stunning and inspiring....and I've only looked at the pic not read the words!
4.0 out of 5 stars sumptuous settings and photos largely offset inadequate text and editing
Given the material that is covered by "The Private World of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge," a reader might have expected this book to be one of the most fascinating interior design volumes issued in decades, and in this regard it does not disappoint. Indeed, the richly-layered environments and richly-enjoyed lifestyles crafted by the late designer Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Berge compel one to delve into the book over and over again."The Private World" is divided into eight chapters. The first is a 12-page analytical essay on the philosophy that guided Saint Laurent's and Berge's residential designs, while the remaining seven are each devoted singly to three homes in Paris, a work studio in Paris, a seaside house in France, and two homes in North Africa. These seven establishments are generously dealt with by photographs that cover exterior and interior spaces, full-room sweeps and focused close-ups of individual objects. Some of the seven locations and specific rooms have appeared previously in design magazines and other books. Still, the sum of the images offered here is stunning in revealing the care and resources that Saint Laurent and Berge devoted to collecting, decorating, and simply creating extraordinary backdrops for their lives and dreams. Overall then, it is fair to say that the book is an ode to the wondrous extremes to which a cultivated French taste for antiquities, modern art, and even adapted stage settings can go.What limited text is offered in this otherwise ambitious book sets the scene for understanding what inspired Saint Laurent's and Berge's tastes and sensibilities, but one wishes for so much more. This desire for additional material is most strongly felt in looking at the individual residences, especially the villa at the seaside resort of Deauville. Here, for example, I longed for a great deal more information regarding the influence of Marcel Proust on the main house and Leon Bakst on the dacha. (That material is better handled, in fact, in the two chapters that Christiane de Nicolay-Mazery devotes to the Deauville property in her "French Interiors: The Art of Elegance.") One wishes too that the publishers of "The Private World" had taken the time to eliminate the many typographical, grammatical, and syntactical errors found throughout the book.
5.0 out of 5 stars Yves St. Laurant opulent world
Yves St. Laurant not only designed some of the most magnificent clothing in the world, but what an opulent life he and Pierre shared. The photography showcasing the magnificent collections of these two is superb. They truly had quite an eye for many treasures in the world.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very Beautiful Book
A selection of decors, mainly by Jacques Grange, that illustrate the sophistication of the houses shared by Yves St. Laurent and Pierre Berge. This is about as "high end" decor as you can get. However, several of the places are quite simple yet brilliantly furnished with a kind of taste rarely seen elsewhere. In a some of the homes or apartments simple objects and rare treasures are mixed together, but in an unpretentious manner. In others, extreme opulence is the key. However the workmanship of everything is the best that can be had anywhere. This is what places look like when money is no object.
5.0 out of 5 stars OMG!
Like a time machine to a place and a time were standards where the norm. Where beauty and harmony were not bad words. Everything pleases and inspires. So sad it was sold in auctions but the book remains as a record of such a treasure trove.
LOVE THIS BOOK
Super fabulous book. I love how it captured even the tiniest details of the spaces Yves Saint Laurent have lived in.
Fabulous Favourite
