Extract from the website of the Musée Yves Saint Laurent, Paris The ‘Opera - Ballets Russes’ collection, which was the first to be shown at the Inter-Continental Hotel, was a real show.  An admirer of the Ballets Russes founded by Serge de Diaghilev at the turn of the century, the costumes of Léon Bakst and the paintings of Orientalist artists, Yves Saint Laurent simultaneously evoked the Russia of the Tsars and that of the Opera. The colours were shimmering and the textiles luxurious: furs, muslins, silks, velvets, gold lamé, and so on. Yves Saint Laurent restored haute couture's ability to inspire.     Yves Saint Laurent said in Vogue, September 1976. It's a painter's collection, inspired by Delacroix's odalisques, Ingres's women, Van Eyck's Woman with a Pearl [in fact, Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl], La Tour, Rembrandt, Degas's dancers with their black corselet, but also by Senso's Visconti, the Civil War, Sternberg's Marlene.
