Fashion and Design under the same roof

Marrakech, Morocco.  
The visit to the Yves Saint Laurent Museum begins at the Majorelle Gardens, an iconic oasis in the city created by French painter Jacques Majorelle in the 1920s, which was later purchased and restored by Yves Saint Laurent himself and Pierre Bergé in the 1980s.  

Inside the museum, visitors are immediately struck by the beauty of the interior design, which was created by Christophe Martin in close collaboration with Studio KO to provide a harmonious and immersive visiting experience. 

The museum's interior is mainly composed of two floors, including a mezzanine overlooking the inner courtyard. The walls are covered in stucco and plaster, which were worked by local artisans to create complex textures and geometric patterns. The museum's colors draw their main inspiration from Yves Saint Laurent's favorite palette, with shades of blue, red, and pink reminiscent of the French fashion designer's iconic dresses. 

The carpets, cushions, and curtains also display bright colors, adding a touch of warmth and comfort to the interior space. The exhibition rooms were designed to showcase the dresses and accessories on display, with white walls creating a neutral background that enhances the colors and textures of the artworks, and the showcases are cleverly lit to create a spectacular atmosphere that adds to the unique character of each displayed piece. 

Overall, the interior design of the Yves Saint Laurent Museum in Marrakech brilliantly pays tribute to the creativity and innovation of this great man. Designed to provide an inspiring visiting experience, the building allows us to discover the legacy and art of one of the greatest fashion designers of the 20th century, while enjoying the beauty and serenity of the surrounding gardens.
