EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the swinging 1960s, where fashion was bold and boundaries were meant to be broken. Betty Catroux, the iconic model and muse of legendary designer Yves Saint Laurent, takes center stage outside his first London Rive Gauche store on New Bond Street. It is opening day - September 10th, 1969 - and anticipation fills the air. Betty exudes an effortless coolness as she leans against the storefront window, her striking features framed by a cascade of tousled hair. Her outfit perfectly embodies the era's rebellious spirit: a sleek black turtleneck paired with skin-tight leather pants that hug her slender figure. The ensemble is completed with knee-high boots that add a touch of edginess. As one gazes at this photograph captured by Beverley Goodway, it becomes evident why Betty Catroux became such an influential figure in both fashion and popular culture. Her unique style effortlessly blends femininity with masculinity while challenging societal norms along the way. This image serves as a powerful reminder of Yves Saint Laurent's groundbreaking impact on the world of fashion during this time period. It encapsulates not only his innovative designs but also his ability to surround himself with extraordinary individuals like Betty who embodied his vision. Beverley Goodway's photograph transports us back to a moment when artistry met rebellion on the streets of London. It captures a fleeting yet timeless glimpse into an era that continues to inspire generations
