Art of Transparency with Yves Saint Laurent

From February 9 to August 25, 2024, the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris presents ‘Yves Saint Laurent: Transparencies, the Power of Materials.’ This exhibition explores the contradiction and power of transparency in fashion through materials such as chiffon, lace, and tulle, used by Saint Laurent as early as the 1960s. With around forty textile pieces, sketches, patterns, photographs, and accessories, as well as works by modern and contemporary artists, the exhibition highlights the complex relationship between fashion, the body, and reinvented nudity, celebrating the powerful and liberated woman according to Yves Saint Laurent’s vision.
