“I have always believed that fashion was not only to make women more beautiful, but also to reassure them, give them confidence."
~ Yves Saint Laurent
1936-2008
“That look! He looks at what he sees (like all the world) with eyes open—around him, near him, far beyond. Only observe the result…..
The whole of life, or life’s details… It’s all one to YSL: a crowd, a man, a throng, a desert, a person before him, an empty set…. He sees a woman, a man, a garden, a prison, the ocean, the laughter of a child; no reflection on these things that touch his life so closely.”
~ Marguerite Duras
If you find yourself in New York between June 11, 2026, and September 28, 2026, please visit our friends at the ICP Museum to see their new exhibition, Yves Saint Laurent and Photography. You will not be disappointed.
First presented at the Arles Photo Festival last year, the exhibition demonstrates how YSL worked with many of the greatest names in photography, who helped shape his image.
A dream exhibition for anyone who loves fashion and photography.
