The exhibit begins with a portrait of Saint Laurent by Irving Penn, in which he is covering half his face, meant to project the inherent shyness, but also, emotional depth, of the designer, who passed away in 2008. This is followed by a sampling of his beautiful couture work for Christian Dior. Next, a really cool replication of his studio, followed by a room dedicated to his game-changing ready-to-wear for his namesake label, replete with the pantsuits and military jackets that introduced menswear to ladies, changing the way women would dress for generations after.
