I love fashion (I better love it ... I am getting a degree in fashion design!) and I enjoy visiting fashion exhibitions when I travel. On a recent trip to Seattle, Washington, I rushed over to the Seattle Art Museum to see Yves Saint Laurent: The Perfection of Style. And you better rush there too!
One of the loveliest surprises at this exhibition is a display of the 1953 Paper Doll Couture House, Saint Laurent's teen years lovely endeavor of dressing up dolls. It is shown at the Museum for the first time in the US. You, the visitor, will be able to move the paper model along its path and dress it up! How fun is that?

I adore fashion illustration so getting to see Saint Laurent's original sketches for pretty much every collection he created is breath-taking. And then you look up and you see the sketch turned into the actual garment and you fall in love with the craftsmanship.

To tell the truth, I could write about this show for hours ... Here is what you need to know: this exhibition tracks Saint Laurent's creative journey from about 1955 (the year of his Dior debut) to 2002, when he retired from the industry. And now enjoy the photographs below that showcase the splending genius of this worldwide know fashion designer. Or, better yet, rush to the Seattle Art Museum! The show is on display until January 7, 2017. Enjoy!
