We got inspired by the story and all the different characters and models that he created. His timeline and the understandings of the female expression is unique.

Absolutely LOVED this tour. It was a dream come true to be in the atelier of YSL & see his creations up close. It is also before the museum opens so felt extra special. Please note it is completely in French - but signs and the short film have English subtitles. I’ll Never forget it!

What a beautiful and informative experience going to the Museum Yves Saint Laurent in Paris. We had a tour guide that had a wealth of knowledge about the history and fashion industry. The displays in each room were arranged in such an beautiful artistic manner. We throughly enjoyed our time from the beginning to the end .

Took a small group private tour an hour before being open to the public. Excellent tour. As a long time fan of YSL the tour took me back to the 1980’s with great nostalgia especially when viewing the exhibits on show. Enjoyed looking at the original sketches YSL did and how he used colour and textiles. Being in the studio was amazing. A real pleasure. Great books in the gift shop too. The tour guide was lovely.

An incredible moment with a very professional guide in the Maison Saint Laurent Bergé before the opening in a small group. The whole family appreciated the immense talent of YSL through this exhibition of his transparent works.
