“Yves Saint Laurent 1971, La collection du scandale”
Fondation Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent
Until July 19
A new exhibition at the Fondation Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent
shines the spotlight on the late couturier’s infamous 1971 collection,
which was inspired by the Forties.
Curated by Olivier Saillard, director of the fashion museum at Palais
Galliera, the show features 40 outfits from Saint Laurent’s spring
couture line, which caused a scandal because of its perceived vulgarity
and its references to a dark chapter of history, the Nazi Occupation of
Paris during World War II.
The exhibition also features accessories, sketches,
film footage of the show and magazine spreads by the likes of Helmut
Newton. The set design by Nathalie Crinière incorporates curved panels
emblazoned with reproductions of Saint Laurent’s collection notebook
consisting of sketches and fabric swatches in order to give visitors the feeling they
are stepping into his creative process.
The catalogue of the exhibition includes an interview with Paloma
Picasso, who inspired the collection with her colorful outfits culled
from flea-market finds.

camicia secondo me” dedicata al grande maestro Gianfranco Ferrè, nome
che ha lasciato un segno nella storia della moda e non solo italiana.
Il cuore dell’esposizione è rappresentato da 27 camicie bianche su manichino,

capolavori sartoriali esposti in ordine cronologico e i numerosi
materiali che si susseguono, dal taffetà al crepe de chine,
dall’organza al raso, passando per il tulle e la seta, mostrano come la
sperimentazione di tessuti sempre nuovi e la cura nel taglio e nella
lavorazione siano state centrali nel percorso artistico di
Ferrè. Arricchiscono l’esposizione disegni tecnici, bozzetti, immagini pubblicitarie e gli scatti di Luca Stoppini, narratore di moda e Art director di Vogue Italia.

The Palais Galliera, in close collaboration with
Alber Elbaz, artistic director of Lanvin, is honouring the oldest French
fashion house still in business. This first Paris exhibition devoted to
Jeanne Lanvin (1867-1946) features over a hundred models from the
amazing collections of the Palais Galliera and the Lanvin Heritage.
Mademoiselle
Jeanne began her career as a milliner in 1885. In 1889, she opened a
shop “Lanvin (Melle Jeanne) Modes” at 16 Rue Boissy d’Anglas, then in
1893 acquired her premises at 22 Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré. In 1897,
she gave birth to her only daughter, Marguerite, who became her primary
source of inspiration. In 1908, Jeanne Lanvin hit upon the new idea of
children’s clothes. The following year, she opened the Young Ladies’ and
Women’s department. That same year, she joined the Syndicat de la
Couture, the designers’ union, and entered the closed world of French
Fashion Houses. There followed a brides’ department, departments for
lingerie and furs and, in the early 1920s, interior decoration and
sport. In 1926, the entrepreneurial designer launched into men’s
fashion. She also opened shops in Deauville, Biarritz, Barcelona,
Buenos-Aires, Cannes, and Le Touquet… Inspired by the intense blue in
frescoes by Fra Angelico, that same quattrocento blue became her
favourite colour… In 1927, she celebrated her daughter Marguerite’s
thirtieth birthday with the creation of the legendary perfume Arpège.
The famous logo designed by Paul Iribe, depicting the couturière with
Marguerite, is displayed on the round bottle created by Armand Rateau.
The same logo is still featured on Lanvin creations to this day.Jeanne Lanvin used travel diaries, swatches of ethnic fabrics and a vast library of art books to feed her curiosity and inspire her to create fabrics, patterns and exclusive colours. Jeanne Lanvin represents artistry in materials, embroidery, topstitches, twists, spirals, cut-outs – all the virtuosity of the couturière’s craft. It is classical French perfection, with very 18th century style dresses – slender bust, low waist, ample skirt – contrasting with the tubular line of Art Deco with its black and white geometrical patterns, the profusion of ribbons, cristals, beads, and silk tassels.
A capacity for hard work and an intuitive understanding of the modern world only partly explain the extraordinary success of this discreet woman. Alber Elbaz and the Palais Galliera invite you to an encounter with this great lady of haute couture, Jeanne Lanvin.

The first large scale retrospective about Jeanne Lanvin was unveiled at the Palais Galliera alongside Paris Fashion Week the day after the Lanvin presentation by Alber Elbaz and in his presence. The exhibition allows the public to appreciate the work of this iconic woman of fashion, who knew how to revolutionise the fashion of her era by modernising it and using the elegance of her cuts, draping and embroidery. Elbaz was personally involved in the preparations of this exhibition which reunites one hundred dresses provided from the heritage of the Lanvin house and from the museum.
