“I’ve always had the highest of respect for this profession, which isn’t an art form per se, but which needs an artist in order for it to exist” - Yves Saint-Laurent.
The Fondation Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent and the Petit Palais (City of Paris Museum of Fine Arts) are showcasing the first Yves Saint-Laurent retrospective exhibition since the fashion designer passed away. A total of 307 haute couture and prêt-à-porter models are on show, ranging from the designer’s beginnings at Dior in 1958, with the famous “Trapèze” collection, to the splendour of the evening dresses from 2002. This Saint Laurent retrospective, opening tomorrow at the museum, is the biggest yet.
“Chanel liberated women, but Yves Saint Laurent gave them power,” Pierre Bergé, Saint Laurent’s partner in business and life.
