“Fashion fades, style is eternal” – just like his famous quote about style, the work of Yves Saint Laurent is eternal, as well, judging by the sheer amount of exhibitions devoted each year to the grand master of fashion. This time, his magnificent work takes centre stage at the iconic Bowes Museum in the UK, in an exhibition titled Yves Saint Laurent: Style is Eternal. Developed in collaboration with the Fondation Pierre Bergé – Yves Saint Laurent, it is the first exhibition in the UK to present a comprehensive display of the French fashion designer’s work and life. The YSL show highlights the defining elements of his vision, and the significant influence it has had on fashion and the way we understand womenswear. The exhibition highlights the diverse influences of Yves Saint Laurent and explores 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. Yves Saint Laurent: Style is Eternal will remain on show until 25 October 2015.
