VMFA - Yves Saint Laurant: Perfection of Style
In the summer of 2017, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA) hosted an Yves Saint Laurent exhibit. The exhibit included 100 examples of haute couture and ready-to-wear garments — some never shown publicly before.
A short evening ensemble, inspired by Henri Matisse was in the autumn–winter 1981 haute couture collection. It included an ivory wool etamine Romanian-style blouse embroidered with sequins, silk thread, seed beads, and tubular beads in reds, greens, and oranges; and a flared skirt of sapphire-colored silk velvet; and a black silk embroidered belt. Embroidery was by Lesage.
