40 YEAR CAREER EXHIBITION FOR YVES SAINT LAURENT.
SMOKING ROOM: A giant retrospective exhibition dedicated to the late couturier Yves Saint Laurent is being readied in Paris. Pierre Bergé said the exhibit, likely to include some 300 pieces, should be held at the Petit Palais in 2010. The Foundation Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent has some 5,000 couture garments plus some 15,000 accessories, sketches and assorted objects spanning Saint Laurent’s 40-year career. Bergé, meanwhile, is guest of honor at next month’s La Grande Braderie de la Mode (“The Big Fashion Stock Sale” in English) being held in homage to Saint Laurent. The biannual event offers designer wares at discount prices to raise funds for an AIDS charity.

This would be a perfect reason to travel to Paris for a month.
