Yves Saint Laurent Is Being Honored In Lyon

Head to Lyon and its Musée des Tissus which returns with the tradition of its successful retrospectives. For its reopening, the Lyon museum is honoring Yves Saint Laurent. On the verge of closure due to financial worries, the Musée des Tissus in Lyon is reborn from its ashes by offering an exhibition to the great master Yves Saint Laurent while waiting to launch its renovation work. An event that is perfect when you know the enthusiasm that the creator still provokes, 11 years after his death. Working with the Musée Yves Saint Laurent-Paris, Yves Saint Laurent, Les coulisses de la haute couture à Lyon (Behind the scenes of fashion in Lyon) looks back at the designer's links with the silk makers of Lyon, manufacturers and supplies of the region's fabrics and materials. 


This exhibition will display the over 40 year long faithful relationship of Yves Saint Laurent through modern and feminine silhouettes some of which are being exhibited for the first time. Guests will also be able to interact with textile samples, original sketches, photographs and unpublished archival documents and filmed interviews with employees. A true ode to the house's know-how. Yves Saint Laurent, Les coulisses de la haute couture à Lyon ((Behind the scenes of fashion in Lyon), until March 8, 2020, Musée des Tissus de Lyon, 34 Rue de la Charité, 69002 Lyon.
