Two Yves Saint Laurent museums to open in Paris and Morocco
10 years agoPeople pass an advertisement for the French luxury fashion brand Yves Saint Laurent on March 6, 2017 on the Champs Elysees in Paris. A new publicity campaign featuring painfully thin models in "degrading" poses for the French fashion house Yves Saint Laurent sparked outrage March 6, with calls for it to be banned. The poster campaign across Paris of a reclining woman in a fur coat and fishnet tights opening her legs, and another of a model in a leotard and roller skate stilettos bending over a stool, caused fury on social media.

Two museums dedicated to the life and work of fashion legend Yves Saint Laurent will open in Paris and Morocco later this year, his foundation said Tuesday.
