PAPER HEART

YSL takes to the street - and the internet - with its latest Manifesto.

Even if you're not in school, you'll want to keep up with Yves Saint Laurent's latest in required reading.

Manifesto V, the fifth edition of the haute paper, is a visual feast of fall ’09 fashion. Christy Turlington shows off everything from red crocodile pumps to pinstripe high-waist pants in the photos snapped by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.

Copies of the Manifesto will be handed out on Saturday, September 12 in Paris, New York, London, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Seoul, but you'll need to be one of the first 2,000 recipients in order to nab a YSL custom tote designed by Stefano Pilati himself, featuring Turlington in the aforementioned overalls.

If you can't pull a Ferris Bueller and make a surprise visit to New York, get a piece of the Manifesto by logging on to yslmanifesto.com. The first 100 subscribers online will also get a copy of the Manifesto and the limited edition tote without even having to leave the house. How's that for being home-schooled?
