Yves Saint Laurent: A Moroccan Passion

Yves Saint Laurent: A Moroccan Passion is a breathtaking tribute to the profound connection between the legendary fashion designer and the Kingdom of Morocco. Written by his longtime partner Pierre Bergé, this book offers an exclusive glimpse into their private world, capturing the magic of the country that inspired some of the 20th century’s most iconic fashion collections.

An Intimate Memoir of Life in Morocco

In this personal and evocative work, Pierre Bergé shares the story of their arrival in Marrakesh in 1966—a journey that would forever change their lives and creative destinies. Yves Saint Laurent: A Moroccan Passion is designed as a facsimile of a handwritten leather-bound journal, making it feel less like a standard biography and more like a treasured artifact.

Bergé recounts the purchase of their first home, Dar el-Hanch, and later the famous Villa Oasis and Majorelle Garden. Through his words, readers are transported to a time of bohemian freedom, surrounded by a close-knit circle of friends including Loulou de La Falaise and Andy Warhol. It is a story of love, creativity, and the “extraordinary light” of Morocco that Yves Saint Laurent so deeply cherished.

A Visual Feast of Art and Fashion

Beyond the narrative, this book is a visual masterpiece. It features personal photographs—many published here for the first time—alongside exquisite drawings and watercolors by Lawrence Mynott. These images vividly bring to life the vibrant colors of Marrakesh and the quiet sanctuary the couple built together.

For fashion enthusiasts and lovers of Moroccan culture alike, this book serves as a key to understanding the aesthetic evolution of the Saint Laurent brand. It illustrates how the textures, colors, and spirit of Morocco became woven into the very fabric of haute couture.
