On the horizon



Yves Saint Laurent by Farid Chenoune

One of the most distinctive and influential designers of the second half of the twentieth century, Yves Saint Laurent takes his place in the pantheon of French couturiers, alongside Coco Chanel, Christian Dior, and Jeanne Lanvin. Yves Saint Laurent, the first comprehensive retrospective of his life’s work, will accompany an exhibition of some 250 garments from the collection of the Fondation Pierre Bergé–Yves Saint Laurent at the Petit Palais in Paris.





Thierry Mugler by Danièle Bott

A visual journey through four decades of Thierry Mugler’s unmistakable style and inexhaustible creativity. The designs of the iconic French couturier Thierry Mugler convey a powerful and seductive image of womanhood. His architectural, ultra-stylized silhouettes, his exploration of new materials, his passion for staging and spectacle, and his futuristic fantasies have left an indelible impression on the world of fashion.

I agree with you about YSL...the master. His museum is a small jewel.I always go there when I am in Paris, and there is usually one other person wandering around...bliss. The quality of the exhibits is superb.
Your music list: inspiring!

Ooh, I partied with Nick Cave and Blixa once, long ago. It was a very wrong night, that's all I'm sayin'.
