Fashion enthusiasts can now see the contribution and legacy of one of the world’s most revolutionary designers encapsulated in one spot.
The Yves Saint Laurent Museum, located at 5 Avenue Marceau. It opened in October of this year!
That’s where you can see some of the designer’s most revolutionary and iconic pieces: Le Smoking, the safari jacket, the bougainvillea capes, and the pea coat, among them.
You actually get to walk into the studio where Yves Saint Laurent sketched, conducted fittings, selected fabrics and collaborated with his staff. Black and white photographs of the designer at work in the studio cover the walls.
Being in the same room with the designer’s pieces will drive fashionistas gaga! Even if you are not a fashionista, you will gain an appreciation for work that goes into designing both haute couture and ready-to-wear pieces. You will also undoubtedly gain an appreciation for the genius of Yves Saint Laurent
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday 11AM-6PM. On Fridays the museum remains open until 9PM.
A companion museum recently opened in Marrakech.
