11th July - 25th October 2015 (Saturday-Sunday) - 'Yves Saint Laurent: Style is Eternal' Exhibition - the Bowes Museum, Barnard Castle, Durham, the UK.
The Bowes Museum and the Fondation Pierre Bergé - Yves Saint Laurent are collaborating to create 'Yves Saint Laurent: Style is Eternal', the first exhibition in the UK to present a comprehensive display of the French fashion designer’s work and life. The YSL show will highlight the defining elements of his vision, and the significant influence it has had on fashion and the way we understand womenswear.
'Fashion fades, style is eternal' Yves Saint Laurent once said. Articulating this idea, the exhibition will present fifty garments including some iconic pieces from the Russian Collection, the Mondrian dresses and the Tuxedo. The show will also open up a dialogue with The Bowes Museum’s collection, creating a unique sense of narrative around the history of fashion.
The exhibition 'Yves Saint Laurent: Style is Eternal' will highlight the diverse influences of Yves Saint Laurent. The show will explore a number of themes, from art, lace and transparency, and Masculine - Feminine as well as featuring the different eras and styles of his creative career.
