How cool is this?!?! A Steel Space unit was converted into a photo studio where one could live the thrill and the glamour of a real professional photo shoot. As they were walking down Peel St. in downtown Montreal, passersby were ushered into the unit and photographed with a model of their choice. The pictures were then transferred to their facebook accounts, where they could show off their new modeling skills to all of their friends!!!!!

Hubert de Givenchy French, 1927 – 2018
Evening Dress , Fall 1982
Plastic Sequins on Lurex/cotton knit, nylon tulle, silk satin rib bon
Hubert de Givenchy’s refined style shines through in this haute couture evening dress. A glittering column of sequins is tempered by two layers of black tulle over the skirt, while layers of voluminous tulle ruffles expand and soften the silhouette. Prized for their elegance, beauty of line, and exquisite workmanship, Givenchy’s clothes preserve the great traditions of French couture.

Yves Saint Laurent French ( born Algeria) 1936-2008
Evening Dress , Fall/Winter 1966-67
Plastic sequins on sheer silk plain weave over rayon taffeta
Yves Saint Laurent presented this dress with his tenth haute couture collection for his own label. The thirty-year-old designer was said to speak for the moment with his “here today, gone tomorrow, young, amused” approach to fashion. Embroidery by the luxury studio Lanel creates a silver pyramid of space-age modernity from three kinds of silver plastic sequins: Large diamonds, medium-sized parallelograms, and smaller circular faceted sequins.

Burl Ives: Silver and Gold
a twelve-acre botanical garden and artist's landscape garden in Marrakech, Morocco. It was designed by the expatriate French artist Jacques Majorelle in the 1920s and 1930s, during the colonial period when Morocco was a protectorate of France. The garden has been open to the public since 1947. Since 1980 the garden has been owned by Yves Saint-Laurent and Pierre Bergé.
After Yves Saint Laurent died in 2008 his ashes were scattered in the Majorelle Garden.
Adding to the fun, glitz and glamour of the Grand Prix of Montreal was hundreds of impromptu fashion shoots! At the Yves Saint Laurent Steel Space pop-up photo studio a makeup counter was on-hand for touchups and perfume samples and discount coupons were given away by the handful.
