The role of gold in Yves Saint Laurent’s collections

” The evening must shine, otherwise it would be a bit ridiculous ” Yves Saint Laurent

“Modern black. I always light it with gold, in buttons, in belts, in chains” Yves Saint Laurent

• On the occasion of this exhibition, the Yves Saint Laurent Museum presents some forty haute couture and ready-to-wear dresses
• Also selected accessories and objects, as well as showcases filled with jewels, essential to Yves Saint Laurent’s silhouette
• If Yves Saint Laurent’s collections were a little “timid” at the beginning of his career, gold gradually found an important place in the couturier’s work. To the point of becoming its signature
• Some of her creations are jewel dresses like those worn by Catherine Deneuve or Zizi Jeanmaire… Its buttons, belts, embroidery also become real jewels…
• Gold was a source of artistic inspiration throughout his career as a couturier
