Modern Muse

“Fashions fade; style is eternal,” said fashion legend Yves Saint Laurent. Situated on Rue Yves Saint Laurent, adjacent to the famous Jardin Majorelle, the 4000+ m2 YSL Marrakech Museum, designed by KO Architects, is due to open its doors in autumn 2017, alongside the opening of the YSL Paris Museum.

The YSL Marrakech Museum will feature an important selection from the Fondation Pierre Bergé – Yves Saint Laurent’s impressive collection, which comprises 5000 items of clothing and 15,000 items of haute couture – in a 400 m2 permanent exhibition space, and will showcase Yves Saint Laurent’s work within an original scenography designed by Christophe Martin.

Saint Laurent was known for his timeless contributions to his industry, as well as his love of all things beautiful – art, antiques, travel – and so it is no surprise that this forthcoming museum, designed by Studio KO architects Karl Fournier and Olivier Marty, will be a modern Moroccan monument inspired by the art of the dress.
