Yves Saint Laurent at the de Young

Oh my friends, if you have not seen the Yves Saint-Laurent retrospective, get thee to a museum! The lovely exhibit is in San Francisco right now, having finished a run in Montreal, and it is well worth the trip (and the ten bucks) the de Young requires. I went this afternoon with my friend Tara, and we had the most impossible time keeping our hands to ourselves, not taking pictures, and someone may have been accused of smelling the couture. No names.


Yves Saint Laurent was a master couturier and pioneer. The exhibition celebrates the life of the late designer, and showcases forty years of creativity from the Maison Haute Couture Yves Saint Laurent. From his famous trapeze dresses, to the nipped silhouettes of his work under Dior, to the fantastically unique global styles, he blends references to the world of art and social revolution.
