The famous Majorelle house in Marrakesh / Morocco

I like this place and especially Marrakesh.

The Yves Saint Laurent exhibition house and gard presents a very-well designed interior of a Moroccan house. It includes reinterpretations by Saint Laurent of caftans -traditional clothes for women-, Capes, Sarouels and soft furnishings.
Cloaks, embroideries, Turkish trousers, head coverings and flowing Moroccan style gowns; the creations on show make explicit reference to the Moroccan clothing tradition that inspired Yves Saint-Laurent. Their colors also evoke those admired by the artist in Marrakech: the orange of saffron, the blue of the Majorelle Gardens, and the violet of the bougainvillea. “This city led me to color,” Saint- Laurent often said.
I know waht he was talkin about after my lovely time in the garden of Majorelle house.

His partner and collaborator Pierre Bergé, views the house as a “tribute from Yves Saint Laurent to the inhabitants of Morocco, to the sky of Marrakech and its light.” The couple bought three houses there, including the one in Majorelle that now houses the Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint-Laurent Foundation.
See you in Morocco.
