wow thanks alot tylw you deserve the biggest karma ever, love all these pics. so rare & beautiful.
I guess these images might be from Olivier Meyrou's "Celebration" documentrywhich covers Yves last show & is banned in france.

You're very welcome.

I actually think these were just a photo assignment done by Alexandra Boulat for VII. VII is a rather exclusive photojournalism agency, for the likes of James Nachtwey. Boulat usually spends her time in war zones, so it's interesting to see her take on fashion. The portrait of YSL in his home won a World Press Award.

I remember Hedi Slimane had taken photos of the same event. Anyone have those?

Claude Lalanne?

I'm totally guessing, but he did do those two golden bust and waist pieces for those Moroccon crepe dresses.

it is a close up of CINEMA -the fragrance- bottle, which was inspired from Yves drug box which was made by a french artist that I forget his name?

Claude Lalanne?

I'm totally guessing, but he did do those two golden bust and waist pieces for those Moroccon crepe dresses.

I adore Lalanne work, but the flacon is inspired by the work of 1950s Parisian sculptor Line Vautrin and known as the “poetess of metal”, she is famous for her sun shaped mirrors. check her site:
