Evening Gown Fall-Winter 1970San Francisco's de Young Museum is the only US venue for a 40 year retrospective exhibit of the work of Yves Saint Laurent. The exhibit opened on Saturday, November 1 and runs through April 5, 2009. If you live anywhere on the west coast or are traveling there, I urge you to make time to see this important exhibit.
Saint Laurent, who died June 1 of this year, was known for designing the wardrobe basics of modern women's wear - the pantsuit, the pea coat, the safari jacket, and le tuxedo - these pieces have all become timeless classics in women's wardrobes.
Included in the exhibit will be an example of the famous Mondrian dress.

Wow, very cool. I'll probably be up in the Bay Area sometime before April and will definitely make a point to see that exhibit.
I'm jealous! I have family in the area, but we just visited earlier this year, and another trip isn't in our near future. Please post a review on your blog when you go!
ohh that exhibition sounds fantastic, i hope they bring it over to england!
Penny, the exhibit was most recently in Montreal, and from SF it is said to be moving to Paris, but that will be it. You may want to plan a field trip for next summer!
