Yves Saint-Laurent, Art & Fashion (includes French Breakfast)
Event | To register, please call us at: 305-919-5900.
Armando Droulers returns to our OLLI to explore the extraordinary legacy of Yves Saint-Laurent, one of the most influential fashion designers of the twentieth century. After establishing his fashion house in 1962 with his partner Pierre Bergé, Saint-Laurent elevated ready-to-wear to unprecedented artistic prestige. Inspired by a lifelong passion for painting and sculpture, he created iconic collections shaped by the work of artists such as Mondrian, Matisse, and Van Gogh. He and Bergé also assembled one of the most celebrated private art collections of the modern era.
A delightful French breakfast will be served to complement this chic and artful - and not to be missed- experience.
