A transparent collection !

After an exhibition worth its weight in gold, the Yves Saint Laurent exhibition “Transparence – Le pouvoir des matières” runs until August 25, 2024. As you may have guessed, the aim of this exhibition is to showcase the creations of our famous couturier Yves Saint Laurent, who knew how to handle all kinds of materials related to transparency.

Whether lace, tulle or chiffon, the designer played with the transparency of materials to create works of art. The words “the power of materials” make sense as we stroll through the rooms in this exhibition. Yves Saint-Laurent uses the famous power of each fabric and knows how to wield it.

The space is divided into five sections, each unique from the other, bringing together the discovery of materials, the alliance between materials and the woman’s body, the details of the movement of materials, but also wedding outfits, which are fundamental.

“I’ve known about transparencies for a long time. The important thing with them is to keep the mystery…. I think I’ve done my utmost for women’s emancipation. I’ve created clothes that are perfectly at home in the 21st century.”
