Yves Saint Laurent Legacy on View in San Franciso
|
An exhibition of the legendary designer Yves Saint Laurent creations started last Saturday, November 1 at De Young Museum in San Francisco. The event was organized by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the FAMSF with the help of the Foundation Pierre Berge-Yves Saint Laurent.
It will showcase different designs made by YSL during his 40 years in the fashion world, starting from his early years with Dior and up to his last and final runway show before he retired which is the Spring/Summer 2002 collection.
This is one of the much anticipated exhibits since Yves Saint Laurent was one of the most prominent designers when it comes to haute couture and he was the one who revolutionized wardrobe gender interchanges. He was the very first to create tuxedo for women back in 1966. His collection through the years consisted of designs that complement Art such Picasso, Matisse, Van Gogh to name a few.
This rare exhibit will last until April 5 next year and will not travel to any other place in the United States. There will be around 120 dresses that will be on display. Some of the clothes were made-to-order by some of the richest and powerful women on earth. All of them are on loan from a foundation created by YSL and longtime business partner Pierre Berge.
