New YSL Flower ๐บ 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 ๐บ 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.

Looks fun!!! I would’ve created an international incident trying to abscond with that Lily -of -the- valley blouse! Love it! ❤️
ReplyDeleteOh…they placed it Very high on the wall. They must have had you in mind ๐
DeleteWhat a beautiful exhibit! I thought of you when I saw the Lily of the valley blouse. Your water color is very nice๐ผ❤️
ReplyDeleteMille merci Daina
DeleteLovely…love flowers…but, on a dress?? Maybe good on a 5 year-old, a skinny 16 year-old, a Twiggy 20-something? Otherwise, very “mumsy”, British matron, Princess Margaret. Love your pics.
ReplyDeleteThey are works of art to be enjoyed, first and foremost. Nothing practical about them.
DeleteThe flowered dresses? I love them! Carolyn
DeleteOr perhaps the mademoiselle was watching out the window for her person coming to pick her up who still hadn't arrived on time? So nice of you to visit this collection for those of us who will not be going to Paris this Spring! Merci, Carol!
ReplyDeleteYes and perhaps he was riding a white horse ๐ค
DeleteThe exhibit sounds good and blouse with lily of the valley is to dream of but the flower dresses, specially the green one, are not my taste even if they are a YSL.
ReplyDeleteThey are works of art first. Being wearable is secondary imo.
DeleteBeautiful๐ฅฐ๐I'm for the flowers year round...Thank you for such a lovely share๐
