Saint Laurent was only 21 when he was named head designer at Christian Dior following the death of the famed creator of the postwar New Look. These designers could, with a single dynamic collection, dramatically alter the way a woman dressed. Saint Laurent is the last of a coterie of designers including Christian Dior, Coco Chanel and Cristobal Balenciaga whose heyday came at a time when fashion dictates were anticipated and heeded. "He will continue to do what he likes best," says Christopher Girard, executive vice president of Yves Saint Laurent worldwide. Saint Laurent, 61, will continue to design the haute couture collection. Designer Yves Saint Laurent quietly announced Monday that he was relinquishing creative responsibilities for his ready-to-wear collection to 37-year-old designer Alber Elbaz.

Interest in the designer’s work could gain ground early next year, when a series of exhibitions will take place in honor of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Yves Saint Laurent fashion house. Ninety-eight percent of the lots were sold, eight of which were acquired by the foundation that Pierre Bergé and Yves Saint Laurent had established. Earlier this year the Yves Saint Laurent wardrobe that had belonged to Zizi Jeanmarie and included several stage costumes was a near-sellout. Some of the final bidders included the Yves Saint Laurent Museum in Paris, the Fashion Museum in Santiago de Chile and the Bowes Museum in the U.K., which each acquired several lots.Īnother Saint Laurent creation sent bidders into overdrive later that year, when the “Sunflowers” jacket, which was inspired by the art of Vincent Van Gogh and interpreted in embroidery by Lesage, sold for 382,000 euros - a record-breaking auction figure for a design by Saint Laurent. In January 2019, the “Catherine Deneuve & Yves Saint Laurent” sale attracted more than 500 bidders from five continents. The work, art and belongings of Saint Laurent, who died in 2008, have proven to reel in bidders at Christie’s. From Christie’s standpoint, the purchase is an indicator of the strong interest from private collectors and institutions for fashion design.
The “Hommage à Picasso” evening frock is heading for the Melbourne-based museum’s permanent collections. The striking Saint Laurent dress was acquired by a patron of the National Gallery of Victoria. Diana Vreeland opted for an image of the dress for the exhibition catalogue’s cover. Model Amalia Vairelli first spotted the dress on the runway in 1979 and four years later it was featured in a retrospective show of the designer’s work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. I embroidered on Picasso, on a slightly soft cubism…” Saint Laurent once said of his famed 1979 collection, “…my collection was built like a ballet. The latter is preserved at the Musee d’ Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. Picasso created the sets, costumes and the stage curtain for the extravaganza. More specifically, they collaborated for the “Parade” ballet that premiered at the Théâtre du Châtelet in 1917.
The short-sleeve orange dress with a black belt and a skirt blooming with colors was inspired by Pablo Picasso’s and Serge de Diaghilev’s project for the Ballet Russe.
