Since today marks the start of Paris Fashion Week, there is no time like the present to find inspiration in art and fashion.
Yves Saint Laurent spent his entire career paying tribute to artists: Mondrian, Matisse, Picasso, Poliakoff, Warhol, Wesselman, Van Gogh, Vasarely—and there are several others. Now, six museums across Paris are paying tribute to him through a sprawling exhibition that showcases his art connoisseurship, creative genius, and imaginative savoir-faire.
Those with an avidity for all things Saint Laurent will want to cover the six institutions, but the pleasure of this multi-stop exhibition, organized by and displaying the archives of the Fondation Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent, is that visitors need not follow any prescribed order.
