A Fashion Icon Celebrated at the Fine Arts Museum
Only a small number of women are fortunate enough to have been elegantly draped in an Yves Saint Laurent dress. While many women dream of having a stunningly tailored, haute-couture dress in their closet, chances of this dream coming true are slim. However, if you're passionate about fashion and would like to at least have the opportunity to admire haute-couture up-close, visit The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts where you can examine 145 of the late Yves Saint Laurent's fashion creations. The collection spans 40 years of the couturier's brilliant and timeless work.
The exhibition is divided into four themes, one of the most interesting being "Lyrical Sources", fashion influenced by history, literature and art. It is said that Yves Saint Laurent studied the works of the great artists of our time, which he then translated into the fabrics he created. A great artist in his own right, it is only fitting that Yves Saint Laurent's work be displayed in a city full of fashion and art lovers alike.
Yves Saint Laurent runs until September 28th. For more information on the exhibition, visit www.mbam.qc.ca.
