“Nothing is more beautiful than a naked body.” Despite his love for the outfits of Adam and Eve (witness this famous portrait of him in the simplest camera), {4 }Yves Saint Laurent is remembered for having (un)dressed women's bodies like no other before him. Between subversive elegance and new silhouettes, this sensual exhibition naturally consecrates the couturier's mastery in a ballet of sumptuous dresses highlighting his taste for revealed bodies while lifting the veil on his impudence in matters of appearance. With around forty models in lace, cigaline and organza, the museum also shows how the designer dared to use transparent effects, bold cutouts and provocative associations. We only have to take a chaste look at her creations to understand her game... A dress with a demure look on the front? Yves Saint Laurent reserves a back with a dizzying neckline, until finally authorizing the legendary Nude Dress, an entirely transparent muslin dress simply belted with ostrich feathers leaving just what the imagination needs. At the end of the tour, the profile of a bride under her tulle veil closes this sulphurous exhibition, as she
would do in any parade.
