Friday afternoon in Paris was spent at Le Petit Palais. Cause I finally got the time to visit the very much hyped Yves Saint Laurent Exhibition. Which, was far better than I expected. Actually quite fantastic rather. Thank you Paris for never disappointing me when it comes to fashion. Did I really expect the exhibition to be bad? It’s fantastic how they managed to collect so many of his works. All thanks to his life long partner Pierre Bergé.

The exhibition covered all his different periods. From his break through with the safari jacket and the trousers, his obsession with the female version of the tuxedo, his love to art and the artists, his respect for women and the collaborations with some icons, the scandals and so on. That was the beauty of Yves Saint Laurent, his capacity to change direction and try different styles constantly. Renewing himself and his couture house.

For those of you who really wanted to see this exhibition but didn’t get the chance. Check out the website HERE instead, they have a sort of smaller version of the exhibition online with some of the iconic dresses and suits.

The line was constantly long. So it was before I left Paris too. I wonder how many people who actually visited this exhibtion. Fortunate for me I only had to wait for half an hour, while I know others who waited for four hours. Popular guy that YSL.

Speaking of Pierre Bergé. There is a new documentary called ‘L’Amour Fou’ coming about Yves Saint Laurent. It’s Pierre Bergé who is being interviewed speaking about his love for his partner and the difficulties they had with each other. Since Yves Saint Laurent periodically had depressions and drank a lot. It’s said to be a very personal and touching documentary so I can’t wait until it’s out. Watch the trailer below.
