Yves Saint Laurent Museums To Open in Paris and Marrakech

The late fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent will be the subject of two concept museums due to open next year, the Telegraph reports.

Saint Laurent's long-time partner, Pierre Berge, has announced his wish to create a museum in Paris and one in Marrakech, where the designer had his second home.

The Paris space will be dedicated to Saint Laurent's creative process, with replicas of his studio and couture salons, and a rotating archive of clothes, sketches, artworks and photographs. The museum will be housed in a mansion on avenue Marceau, where the designer worked for 30 years.
