Legendary fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent is subject of museum exhibition, slated to bring 100 haute couture garments to the Seattle Art Museum (SAM) this fall.
“Yves Saint Laurent: The Perfection of Style” draws from the collection of the Fondation Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent, showcasing highlights from Saint Laurent’s 44-year career, including new acquisitions that is making their public debut on the west coast.
Currently, the UK’s Bowes Museum is home to “Yves Saint Laurent: Style is Eternal,” the country’s first museum show on the designer. The exhibition’s 50 pieces cover Saint Laurent’s days at Christian Dior as well clothing from his legendary label.
“Yves Saint Laurent: The Perfection of Style” will be on view at the Seattle Art Museum, October 11, 2016–January 17, 2017, and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, May 7–August 26, 2017.
