YVES SAINT-LAURENT | THE IMPOSSIBLE COLLECTION

Yves Saint Laurent transformed haute couture for a new era of youthful, strong, independent women. 100 iconic signature pieces from Yves Saint Laurent’s forty-year oeuvre, from the very first looks that appeared on the runway in his eponymous debut collection in January 1962 following his departure from Dior, to his final couture presentation upon his retirement in 2002: the Mondrian shift dress, the legendary Ballets Russes collection, the tailored pantsuits and flowing “coup de crayon” draped gowns, the lavish use of velvet, lace, feathers, leopard print and brilliant jewel tones.
