All about Yves

For the first time in 25 years, a museum is putting on a major retrospective of Yves Saint-Laurent's work. And while Love, opening today at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, decidedly favors womenswear (and deservedly so), there are still a few things for the gents—early sketches and drawings of his dabbling in menswear, not to mention photos of the dapper man himself. (Sadly, there's nothing from the Ford or Pilati eras.) The show is timed to the 40th anniversary of YSL's founding, and will head to San Francisco's de Young Museum later this year.
Love: Yves Saint Laurent, today through Sept. 28, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, 1380 Sherbrooke St. W., (514) 285-2000, mmfa.qc.ca

The womenswear will be of great interest to men intrigued by the internourishing that takes place between fashion and other aspects of culture. In fact, one section of this exhibition is devoted to "Lyrical Sources," and traces the influences of Proust, Wilde, Cocteau and others on YSL's designs.
