Designers like Yves Saint Laurent, Coco <\/a>Chanel <\/a>and Alexander McQueen didn't reach stardom overnight; they had great stories behind their\u00a0irreplaceability in the eyes\u00a0of the fashion world.<\/p>

The venerable YSL, for instance, had impressed designers at Christian Dior at the tender age of 18, before eventually starting his own label with partner Pierre Berg\u00e9 just a few years later. The admirable Coco Chanel<\/a>, as we've come to know, single-handedly revolutionized fashion and redefined luxury for women. McQueen <\/a>designed clothes for the world's most reputable women,\u00a0but was notoriously mysterious and led a life as dark as his theatrical fashion.<\/p>

Similarly, other great minds of fashion have a story worth telling.\u00a0Our gallery shows a collection of gripping books detailing\u00a0the groundbreaking\u00a0approaches, personal lives and the celebrated works of world-class fashion designers. Take your pick and get lost in their mesmerizing journey!<\/p>
