The legendary couture designer Yves Saint Laurent (1936-2008) was acutely aware of just how intense the relationship between clothing and camera can be. In many ways, his understanding of garment as image, expressed through his collaboration with dozens of the greatest fashion photographers, set the framework for a whole industry.
In conjunction with ICP's major summer exhibition Yves Saint Laurent and Photography, the Dressed by Yves Saint Laurent film series at Metrograph showcases the best of Saint Laurent’s remarkable costume work for cinema. His genius for understated style and unexpected detail suited artfully disruptive and visually seductive directors such as Luis Buñuel, Alain Resnais, Luchino Visconti and Tony Scott.

About the Films +
Belle de Jour Catherine Deneuve’s wardrobe stands out in Luis Bunuel’s chilly bourgeois settings. Saint Laurent’s buckled shoes proved so popular with the public they were reissued and renamed Belle de Jour. The Pink Panther Saint Laurent dressed The Pink Panther’s star actresses, Claudia Cardinale and Capucine. The combination of slapstick comedy and high style set the tone for many movies that followed. Arabesque Sophia Loren’s wardrobe for this light-hearted tale of international intrigue is one of Saint Laurent’s lushest. Look out of the celebrated powder-pink gown. Stavisky Filmed by the great Sacha Vierny, Alain Resnais’ cult classic set in the 1930s is visually intriguing riddle within a riddle. Saint Laurent designed the clothes for Anny Duperey, playing Stavisky’s glamorous and enigmatic wife. Conversation Piece Helmut Berger plays Konrad, the androgynous and decadent gigolo. Yves Saint Laurent defines his character with a wardrobe of not-quite casual knitwear, jackets and slacks. The Hunger Twenty years after Belle du Jour, Saint Laurent once again dressed Catherine Deneuve, for Tony Scott’s cult 1980s tale of elegant vampires. Her shoulder pads, lipstick and veils defined an era. Mississippi Mermaid St. Laurent's and Deneuve's third collaboration in 1969 has the star dressed to kill in Francois Truffaut's Mississippi Mermaid. Taking place partly on the island of Reunion, the film was the perfect vessel to highlight the designer's vision for his 1968 Spring/Summer Rive Gauche collection, which drew heavily from safari and military dress aesthetics |
