The two-part show is coproduced with the Yves Saint Laurent Museum in Paris and focuses on the designer's use of nude effects.
in 2023, the lingerie-inspired looks were considered scandalous when Saint Laurent introduced them in 1966, four years after founding his label. “Nothing is more beautiful than a naked body,” the late couturier once declared.
Modeled by the designer’s muse Danielle Luquet de Saint Germain with nothing underneath but a jeweled belt, the dress shocked onlookers at the time.
The set design by Studio Tovar will take advantage of the soaring volumes of the museum’s contemporary wing, with a monochrome design featuring translucent panels printed with key quotes and images, said Shazia Boucher, heritage curator and deputy director of the Museums of Calais, who is co-curating the show.
“Her text also provided the foundation for the captions within the exhibition in order to provide historical context for this man’s view of women’s bodies and nudity — what it says about the era and about his role in it,” Laronde said.
