The flowers of Yves Saint Laurent

An exhibition on flowers and plants as a source of inspiration for the great couturier Yves Saint-Laurent.

The new exhibition at the Musée Yves Saint Laurent in Paris highlights the importance of flowers and plants in the life and creations of the famous couturier. Along the way, visitors can admire some thirty emblematic silhouettes inspired by flowers, as well as drawings by Yves Saint Laurent. The exhibition is punctuated by quotes from Marcel Proust, who shared a love of flowers with the great couturier and was one of Yves Saint Laurent's favourite writers. Works by American artist Sam Falls also interact with YSL's fashion creations. On view from 20 September 2024 to 4 May 2025.
