I Want to be a Pin Up 
My favorite is the “Yves Saint-Laurent inspired by Piet Mondrian” -it looks like something I could actually imagine myself wearing!
So simple and yet it’s one of Laurent’s most famous dresses. I love the Monet inspired gowns as well as the Degas. They are a clear nod to the artists without being literal.
Wow, this is fascinating! I didn’t know about these influences till now. 😀
It’s such a beautiful collection, if I may say so myself! It’s amazing how influencial art can be and I can only feel sorry for people who just “don’t get it”!
