Design Saint Laurent for Deneuve under the hammer

Auction house Christie \u0026 # x27; s sells at the end of this month the wardrobe that the famous French couturier Yves Saint Laurent designed for his equally famous compatriot Catherine Deneuve.

Deneuve and the late Saint Laurent were big friends and the actress could not beat the first row of his fashion shows. She was also the proud first customer of his ready-to-wear store at the Paris Rive Gauche, when it opened in 1967. The multiple César-winner remained a muse for the designer until his death more than ten years ago.

The auction in the last week of January takes place against the backdrop of Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris.
