Marrakesh, the city beloved by a fashion legend. In this city, there is a special place that commemorates the legendary designer's creative world and his deep love for Morocco. This is the Musée Yves Saint Laurent (@myslmarrakech). A place where the vibrant colors of Marrakesh and the elegant sensibility of YSL meet, it is more than just a museum—it’s a cultural sanctuary that offers artistic inspiration.
Marrakesh's Architecture Meets YSL's Sensibility
The Musée Yves Saint Laurent is a space where the traditional architecture of Marrakesh and the aesthetics of YSL harmoniously blend. The exterior, composed of terracotta bricks, evokes the curves of the YSL logo, while the interior captures the delicacy and elegance of Saint Laurent's clothing. Located adjacent to the Jardin Majorelle, it is the perfect place to enjoy both YSL's sensibility and the beautiful gardens at the same time.
The Origin of a Designer's Inspiration
When Yves Saint Laurent first visited Marrakesh in 1966, he was deeply inspired by the city's strong colors and culture. His representative collections, including the Mondrian dress, smoking jacket, and safari jacket, were all born here. The museum’s 400 sqm permanent exhibition space showcases the designer's creative world in a colorful way, allowing visitors to feel the source of his inspiration firsthand.
A Space to Experience Both Fashion and Culture
This place is more than just a fashion museum. It is a multi-purpose cultural complex equipped with a library that holds over 5,000 resources and an auditorium for cultural events. If you're looking for a special experience where fashion, art, and culture blend, don't miss the Musée Yves Saint Laurent.
