YvesSaint Laurent与摩洛哥的恋情是漫长而奢华的。这位多产的设计师自1966年与他的搭档皮埃尔•贝尔盖（PierreBergé）首次访问以来，一直对这个国家感到欣喜。现在，一个致力于他的生活和工作的博物馆刚刚在马拉喀什开业。
Yves Saint Laurent‘s love affair with Morocco has been a long and lavish one. The prolific designer became enraptured with the country since he first visited in 1966 with his partner, Pierre Bergé. Now, a museum dedicated to his life and work has just opened in Marrakech.
由法国建筑师Olivier Marty和Studio KO的Karl Fournier设计，双色调赤土陶器和水磨石建筑以其红色图案而引人注目，反映出Saint Laurent融入其设计中的各种图案。宽敞的内部空间以圆形中庭为中心，设有400平方米的Christophe Martin设计的永久性展览，专门展示Saint Laurent丰富的时装设计生涯。伴随它的是一个临时展览空间 – 首次亮相的收藏品包括Jacques Majorelle的作品 – 图书馆，书店，礼堂和咖啡馆。用他已故的伴侣PierreBergé的话来说，“当[Laurent]第一次发现马拉喀什时，他被这座城市所感动，他立即决定在这里买房子，并定期返回。五十年后，感觉非常自然
Designed by French architects Olivier Marty and Karl Fournier of Studio KO, the duotone terracotta and terrazzo building is striking for its graphic red brickwork, reflecting the kinds of patterns that Saint Laurent incorporated into his designs. Centred by a circular atrium, the spacious interior houses a 400 sqm Christophe Martin-designed permanent exhibition dedicated to Saint Laurent’s prolific fashion design career. Accompanying it is a temporary exhibition space — the debut collection of which features the works of Jacques Majorelle — a library, bookstore, auditorium and café. In the words of his late partner, Pierre Bergé, “when [Laurent] first discovered Marrakech […] he was so moved by the city that he immediately decided to buy a house here, and returned regularly. It feels perfectly natural, fifty years later, to build a museum dedicated to his oeuvre, which was so inspired this country.” The museum’s opening — on 19 October 2017 — follows shortly after following the recent opening of Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris.
