Style is Eternal



Style is Eternal
 
 
I finally got to see the fabulous 'Style is Eternal' exhibition of the work of Yves St Laurent, at Bowes Museum in Barnard Castle. The first time this has been shown outside France,
 
 
 
 
 
Sketches and design sheets

 
Beautiful, vibrant.............

 
Buttons........



 
Iconic clothes.........

 
Now classic, and timeless, the black trouser suit.....

 

 
Glorious colours and fabrics.......
 
 
 
 Remember paper dress-up dolls? YSL used them, too!
 
 
Sadly, we were just too late to see the Bowes swan automaton in action. It is magnificent, nonetheless. And we did see it move on video. (It is in action once a day, at 2pm!)
 
Bowes Museum is well worth a visit , for any of their permanent, and special exhibitions.
