Yves Saint Laurent

 

i am so excited to be a part of this event! Yves Saint Laurent is doing ONE U.S. show. a couple other small towns are part of the tour: Paris and Madrid-ha! it is a retrospective of the legendary fashion mogul's career; 40 years worth. pretty incredible. the Denver Art Museum is hosting and i get to design the VIP Lounge!!!! Room & Board is incredibly lucky to get the exposure we'll have through this and the city of Denver scored a huge one landing this event!

 everyone who is anyone will be there; the French Ambassador, Pierre Berge (Yves' longtime partner), E-News, celebrities, etc... Ballgowns and Penguin Suits are a must! one of the best things is that the event is entirely centered around pink! the stair carpet, wall paint, accents...all pink!

the space for the VIP Lounge is a mezzanine level with very angular, modern architecture; grey slate floors, white walls. they asked us to only use black & white in the furnishings. i will certainly do a before/after post with pics but just imagine white marble, stainless steel, black leather, cream leather, mohair, etc...LUXURY!

the event is March 23rd, so i won't have pics until that day. HERE is the link for the event if you want to know more! 

Paris. Madrid. Denver.

A sweeping retrospective of the designer’s 40 years of creativity, Yves Saint Laurent: The Retrospective features a stunning selection of 200 haute couture garments along with numerous photographs, drawings, and films that illustrate the development of Saint Laurent’s style and the historical foundations of his work. Organized thematically, the presentation melds design and art to explore the full arc of Saint Laurent’s career, from his first days at Dior in 1958 through the splendor of his evening dresses from 2002. The DAM will be the only United States venue for the exhibition.
