MAJORELLE JARD AND YVES SAINT LAURENT MUSEUM
Yves Saint Laurent: "I like to work using ancient techniques. You could say that I undress the past to dress the present..."
From the memoirs of the great couturier: "My first trip to Marrakech was a kind of shock. I could not even imagine that this city would teach me flowers again." The great couturier's friend and partner Pierre Berge recalled: "I never imagined that once we arrived in Morocco, we would stay here forever and Marrakech would become our second home."
Yves Saint Laurent Museum. Yves Saint Laurent reigned on the world Olympus of haute couture for almost half a century. Once in 1976, speaking about one of his collections, Yves Saint Laurent said: "This collection will be colorful, lively, bright. The fabrics will be woven the way they do in Morocco to sew djellabs - striped wool. I don't know if this is my best collection. But it is my most beautiful collection."
