Author Information:
Elsa Janssen is the Director of the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris and head curator of the current exhibition, Sheer: The diaphanous creations of Yves Saint Laurent that continues through August 25, 2024. From the finest sheath of black chiffon to soft cascades of tulle, the multitude of silhouettes on view capture the couturier’s avant-garde vision of revealing and concealing the feminine form. Before arriving to the museum in 2022, she was the director of cultural events at the Galeries Lafayette, where she realised exhibitions in collaboration with Hans-Peter Feldmann, Maurizio Cattelan and Xavier Veilhan. Along with Anne Dressen as artistic advisor and Pauline Marchetti overseeing the exhibition design, Janssen has conceived an eye-opening fashion focus that is often in juxtaposition with artists such as Man Ray and Francis Picabia. As the fashion shows get underway, this is must-see exhibition where the designs stand the test of time.
