Here's a good reason to return to San Francisco this winter. The opening of the Yves Saint Laurent exhibit at the MH De Young Museum in Golden Gate Park. This will be the only US venue for this show.

Yves died June 1st of this year so this exhibit is very timely.
I wonder if they have special YSL merhandise for this exhibit ala Murakami.

5 Yves iconic "Le Smoking" jacket.
5 This is from the famous Van Gogh collection of 1988. The Sunflower jacket took six hundred hours of individually sewing 350,000 sequins and 100,000 ceramic bugle beads by the House of Lesage, who did a lot of Yves embroidery work.
