The Discreet Charm of Bourgeoisie - YSL

Tweet

Yves Saint Laurent Winter 2011/12 - Stefano Pilati played with those Christobal Balenciaga volumes with mushrooming boule-shaped capes and the chicest parka - while here and there he literally evoked moments of Saint Laurent history.

 

Pilati's finale of sleek white dresses, touched with gold in a chain belt or fine top stitching had a sly sexuality to them, the hint of excitement beneath the deceptively prim exterior. But while these clothes are a persuasively chic proposition for the modern woman, with just enough edgy glamour, the inspiring exhibition "Saint Laurent Rive Gauche, La Révolution de la Mode," makes one long for something of the sheer joyous exubernace that is the house's legacy.

        The Definition of Red by Yves Saint Laurent

I visited this amazing YSL-exhibition this Spring and was absolutely fascinated by the mass of such wonderful exhibited Yves Saint Laurent-styles. A great compliment from my side goes to the Exhibition Designer Nathalie Crinière assisted by Mathilde Le Coutour!

"Red is the fondation of make-up, it's lips and fingernails. Red is a noble color, the color of a precious stone - Rubies - as well as the color of danger, and sometimes you have to play with danger. Red is a religious color, it's the color of blood, the color of Royalty, Phaedra and so many other heroines. The red of fires and the red of Battle - Red is a Battle between Death and Life."
