Roxanne Lowit to publish backstage look at Yves Saint Laurent

By Ian Mohr - NY Post - August 4, 2014 | 

Roxanne Lowit, the seminal New York fashion and celebrity photographer who previously published “Backstage Dior,” will launch a new tome of behind-the-scenes photos on Yves Saint Laurent in November.

The designer’s partner, Pierre Bergé, has penned the foreword, Lowit told us at a chic birthday bash for MaxMara’s Giorgio Guidotti at the Marlton Hotel.
FIT grad Lowit recalled how she traveled to Paris in the 1970s and had to read the instructions on how to use a camera on the plane. She ended up at the top of the Eiffel Tower with Saint Laurent and Andy Warhol, whom she knew from New York, and began a lifelong friendship with the designer, taking exclusive backstage pics at all his shows.
