Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Bergé lived their daily lives surrounded by flowers and gardens in their apartments, their secondary homes and at their fashion house. Passionate about flowers, the couturier found them to be an infinite source of inspiration. Yves Saint Laurent shared this admiration for nature with many artists and writers, in particular with one of his favorite authors, Marcel Proust, as he revealed in the magazine L'Egoïste in 1987. A Proustian universe appears in the designer’s interiors as well as during his runway shows. The writer would describe women as flowers, whereas the couturier would pay homage to them by covering them with blossoms. Over thirty garments and drawings seen in the exhibition highlight this symbiosis between nature, literature and the work of Yves Saint Laurent.
