Installation view, 'Yves Saint Laurent's vintage exhibition',Pola museum

The Japan Fashion and Lifestyle Foundation collection consists of around 180 vintage Yves Saint Laurent garments. The collection focuses on items from the early 1970s to the late 1980s, featuring garments that dominated this score of years of fashion history. This exhibition showcases items from this vintage collection mixed together with today’s “real clothes”—wearable, buyable apparel—through newly-created collection videos and a virtual fashion show. Also featured in the exhibition are 12 mannequins dressed in Yves Saint Laurent’s vintage designs.
