Yves Saint Laurent Retrospective

If you are, or will be in Paris between now and August 29th, you must absolutely visit Le Petit Palais.
Over 300 haute-couture and ready-to-wear garments, created over 40 years of creativity, in addition to documents, photographs, videos and more, are displayed there as an overview of Saint Laurent's astounding career.

In the height of tourist season, you may want to purchase your tickets online, and avoid the interminable lines.

...and yes, that is Saint Laurent posing nude in 1971 for Jean Loup Sieff. This image became his perfume ad and an inspiration for Tom Ford's YSL ads that ran in early 2000's...
