Yesterday I went to the
New YSL Flower 🌺 focused exhibit,
Yves Saint Laurent and his partner, Pierre Berge were always surrounded by flowers and gardens, in their apartment, fashion house and country homes.
To mark the opening on Friday of the exhibit the entrance was decorated with bowers of sunflowers & chrysanthemums
By florist Baptiste Pitou, who was in charge of the backdrops for Saint Laurent’s runway shows.
An exquisite organza blouse from the 2002 collection, covered in embroidered lily of the valley was an homage to Christian Dior (his lucky flower), Saint Laurent’s mentor and first employer in Paris before he opened his own maison..
I don’t know why they left out this fabulous flower 🌺 shoe from YSL’s 1971 collection?
I spotted the same girl from the top of the steps, sitting wistfully by the window…perhaps dreaming of owning a Yves Saint-Laurent.
