The marriage between flowers and fashion has never been more pronounced
than when seen in the work of Yves Saint Laurent. This retrospective
examines Yves Saint Laurent’s use of flowers from their symbolism to
their fruition on the runway.
Flowers in every form inspired fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent,
serving as a leitmotif in his work. His passion for plants manifested
itself in countless patterns and techniques, and he adorned women in
floral appliqués, prints, and embroideries. From a thousand and one
rose buds to sprigs of lily of the valley, from an avalanche of
bougainvillea to delicate poppy touches, and from sheaves of wheat to
majestic lilies, nature was an essential part of his visual palette.
Through the discerning eyes of Olivier Saillard, this veritable garden
of Yves Saint Laurent’s designs―culled from a broad range of
styles―metamorphoses into a bouquet of flowering silhouettes. Under the
direction of Elsa Janssen and Alexis Sornin, essays from Emanuele
Coccia, Marc Jeanson, and Serena Bucalo Mussely explore, respectively,
the symbolism of flowers, characteristics of his recurring prints, and
the designer’s signature use of flora in accessories.
