It was a rather cool, grey day in Marrakech when I had the opportunity to interview artist Christo during the opening of his exhibition Femmes at the Yves Saint Laurent museum in Marrakech. During the press preview, I was able to visit the exhibition and admire the striking Wedding Dress sculpture, a very fitting choice given its reference to both fashion and women. The exhibition, the artist’s first in Morocco and in a fashion museum, happened following a chance encounter just months prior Christo explained during our Why Morocco podcast interview.
The exhibition is on now until 2 June 2019 at the Yves Saint Laurent museum in Marrakech, one of my favourite spaces in town. I head there regularly when I want to be inspired and suggest planning an afternoon having lunch in the Studio Cafe and a leisurely wander through the Majorelle Gardens as well which are further up the street.
Note that the museum is closed on Wednesdays.
