Yves Saint Laurent – Design and character

The paradox of unfolding one’s individual characteristics in someone else's clothes … this is the true task for great fashion designers; creating an overarching brand identity that symbiotically connects with the personality of the person wearing their clothes. Yves Saint Laurent's clothes have a character of their own. How this relates to the attitude of the potential clientele in terms of diversity or self-determination - this is the central theme of the SELF series, for which curator Anthony Vaccarello was able to win over such a diverse range of renowned artists.
