The Yves Saint Laurent Museum Paris presents its exhibition entitled "Yves Saint Laurent : Transparences, le pouvoir des matières", the second chapter of a tale begun last summer in the Cité de la Dentelle et de la Mode in Calais. Once it is worn, transparency is rarely 100% : theoretically, it is incompatible with the very purpose of clothing, supposed to cover the body, conceal or protect it. Drawn by this contradiction and the suggestive appeal of transparency, Yves Saint Laurent opted, as from the 1950's, for materials such as muslin, lace and tulle. Rather like a mantra, transparency made regular comebacks in his 40 years of creation, sometimes accompanied by embroidery or opaque fabrics. Boldly confronting opposition, he enabled women to assert their bodies, not without pride or even insolence. Until August 25th. Jusqu’au 25 août. www.museeyslparis.com
