” SAINT LAURENT PARIS IN COLLABORATION WITH THE FONDATION PIERRE BERGÉ – YVES SAINT LAURENT PRESENTS BETTY CATROUX, YVES SAINT LAURENT, FEMININE SINGULAR FROM NOVEMBER 19TH 2022 TO DECEMBER 11TH 2022 AT THE B&C HALL IN TOKYO. THIS TOURING EXHIBITION WAS HOSTED FROM MARCH 3RD 2020 TO MAY 9TH 2021 AT THE YVES SAINT LAURENT MUSEUM IN PARIS AND FROM JUNE 18TH TO AUGUST 15TH 2021 AT THE SHANGHAI MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART.

(…) IN 2018, ANTHONY VACCARELLO, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR OF SAINT LAURENT, PUT BETTY CATROUX IN THE SPOTLIGHT FOR THE FALL-WINTER CAMPAIGN, SHOT BY DAVID SIMS. IN 2019, BETTY CATROUX MADE AN EXCEPTIONAL DONATION OF 500 PIECES TO THE FONDATION PIERRE BERGÉ – YVES SAINT LAURENT.

SHORTLY AFTER, MADISON COX, PRESIDENT OF THE FONDATION AND SAINT LAURENT PARIS HAVE DECIDED TO IMAGINE THIS EXCEPTIONAL EXHIBITION DEDICATED TO BETTY CATROUX. THEY GAVE A “CARTE BLANCHE” TO ANTHONY VACCARELLO, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR OF SAINT LAURENT. ANTHONY VACCARELLO’S POINT OF VIEW ON BETTY CATROUX’ WARDROBE IS VERY INSIGHTFUL, REVEALING HER UNIQUE PERSONALITY AND HER ENDURING INFLUENCE UPON THE STYLE KEPT ALIVE BY THE BRAND.

THE EXHIBITION PAYS HOMAGE TO THAT FASHION ICON AND “FEMININE DOUBLE” OF YVES SAINT LAURENT, THE PERFECT INCARNATION OF THE MODERN WOMAN AND HER STYLE.
