Drawing on the power inherent in fabric, this exhibition will explore Yves Saint Laurent’s gaze towards fashion in all its complexity as it relates to the body and the concept of nudity.
The forty garments seen in the exhibition include iconic creations that retrace the history of Yves Saint Laurent’s uncovering of the female body, Other rarely seen creations highlight the couturier’s virtuosity in presenting the silhouette of a powerful and liberated woman. Essential elements of the creative process are also seen in the exhibition: sketches, photographs, patterns on tracing paper, accessories (hats, jewelry, shoes, etc.), as well as a series of drawings by Yves Saint Laurent inspired by the paintings of Goya.
Sheer: The diaphanous creations of Yves Saint Laurent lets the visitor discover the great couturier’s artistic, perceptive and poetic vision; his creative rebellion against the ongoing prohibitions of society remains more inspiring today than ever.
