Yves Saint Laurent on his Imaginary Journey’s Collection:
“I use my imagination on countries I dont know. I hate traveling. If i read a book about India, with images, or Egypt, where I’ve never been, my imagination runs away with me. Thatw i make my most marvelous voyages.”
Yves Saint Laurent on The Smoking Collection: The Smoking
“For a woman the tuxedo is indispensable: she will feel permanently in fashion because it is a style item, not a fashion one. Fashion changes but style remains.”

15 beautifully curated rooms are currently dedicated to a Retrospective on Yves Saint Laurent’s life as a designer at the Petit Palais in Paris. The exhibit has been up since mid-March, but the line to get into the museum is still 2 hours long, so we were very lucky to make ti on on our one day in Paris last week. The Retrospective covers iconic periods of the designers career, including : The Dior years, the Gender Revolution, the controversial portrait by Jeanloup Sieff, Imaginary Journey’s, Looking Through the Glass of Art, The Last Ball, The Smoking, The Collision of Colours.

I like the new S/S 2012 collection. Appreciating this collection gives me a feeling as if going into a wild worl. The long flowing pastel skirts are very attracitive.2
I love the earrings!3
this is too cool! i would love a room full of these illustrations4
I tend to be less is more as well. The exception is when someone is a master of using colour and textures and this is a perfect example. Olio by Marilyn5
great pictures!!! wonderful!!!xxxxxxxxhttp://3maigloeckchen.blogspot.de6
ooh I love the techno inspired hair7
Indeed , these images are messing with my head . i cant figure out is it seduction or curiosity .8
Fusing glass is a whole lot of fun and having your own kiln rather than having to rent kiln time can make it much more enjoyable.9
Beautiful! Has inspired me to tackle a neon x pastel outfit....pared with the palest Irish skin? Now that's what one calls a challenge!10
très fort et très beau
