By
linking the first model in the DS line to the designer
who
revolutionised the way women dress, Citroën is
reasserting its Créative
Technologie universe. A high-fashion version of the DS3,
decked out in
the colours of the Yves Saint Laurent retrospective,
transported
fashion and film stars to the show at the Petit Palais
in Paris on
Wednesday 10 March.
Organised by the
Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent Foundation, the
exhibition includes
more than 300 pieces. Presented in their historical and
cultural
context, they create a panoramic vision of the
illustrious fashion
designer’s body of work, from his Dior debut in 1958 to
retirement in
2002. The public also gets its first look at the entire
series of
legendary photographs of Yves Saint Laurent taken by
Jean-Loup Sieff in
1971.
The Citroën DS3, a sensual and muscular compact hatch,
is thus taking its first steps in the fashion world,
blending its
unique atmosphere of luxury and distinction with the
elegance and
anti-conformist aesthetic of Yves Saint Laurent.
