On assignment for Travora.com I discovered (or rediscovered to be precise) the wonderful Yves Saint Laurent Foundation in Paris. Anyone who knows me also knows I'm not exactly a fashion plate… not important in this story. It's the art that counts.
Here's the lede to the story and a link so you can read the whole thing on Travora.com
"Fine arts and fashion meet in the name and above all in the spirit of one of Paris’s newest, most ambitious and most insiderish private art foundations: the Fondation Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent.
Pierre Bergé might not be a household name outside France. Yves Saint Laurent certainly is: the celebrated couturier died in 2008. But his long-time partner and associate Pierre Bergé keeps YSL’s heritage alive by preserving haute-couture clothing and putting on world-class temporary exhibitions that evoke the lifestyle, history, and heritage of creative Paris.
The setting: a handsome, Belle Époque townhouse at 3 Rue Léonce Reynaud in the chicest part of the 16th arrondissement, minutes from Paris’s monumental Art Déco-period Palais de Tokyo, and the exquisite fashion museum in the lavish Palais Galliera."
