Description: invitation booklet ~ SAINT LAURENT Hotel National Des Invalides Place Vauban 19 Janvier 2014, Paris ~ RAYMOND PETTIBON ~ DESSINS 1978 – 2013 ; stiff wraps with flaps approx 85 pages ; with owner client name label small (consistent with scheme of publication in black with white lettering) tastefully printed and adhered to inner edge last page. . 'Hedi Slimane’s growing series of invitation booklets for SAINT LAURENT encapsulates the designer’s goal to mutate the contemporary culture of Los Angeles with Parisian haute tradition and craft. Each book ... perfect-bound between a black notebook cover, and designed by a different LA-based artist. And as veritable art editions disguised as invitations, they are also the strongest overlooked element of the Saint Laurent hype machinery—small monuments to ephemeral, one-off events. The contributing artists range from the canonical—John Baldessari and Raymond Pettibon—to the emerging—Theodora Allen—to the bygone—Guy de Cointet—creating a catalog of Slimane’s creative relationships that is as informal and open ended as it is stylistically magnetic. These are the printed-matter prototypes for Slimane’s newfound leadership of the established brand. Designed as complex, sentimental, and, perhaps most significantly, disconnected entrance points into a singular aesthetic world, they are smart decoys for a company that foremost sells ready-to-wear."
