The first exhibition in the UK to present a comprehensive display of the French designer’s work and life, the Yves Saint Laurent: Style Is Eternal show will present fifty garments including iconic pieces from the Russian Collection, the aforementioned Mondrian dresses and the Tuxedo. The show will also open up a dialogue with The Bowes Museum’s fine and decorative art collection, creating a unique sense of narrative around the history of fashion in general. The exhibition which has been organised in collaboration with the Fondation Pierre Bergé - Yves Saint Laurent will take place from 11 July - 25 October 2015.
