“In this blue and green garden of earthly delights, the "flowers" are caftans sprouting in apricot velvet, in bougainvillea pink or in peacock turquoise.” Yves Saint Laurent

Morocco is a place that fired his imagination and inspired his use of color. Saint Laurent himself described in 1983 how he embraced the inspiration of the light and colors of Marrakech, its "insolent mixes" and "ardent inventions." "But I wasn't content with importing this culture," he said. "I annexed, transformed and adapted it." “Once I grew sensitive to light and colors, I especially noticed the light on colors, on every street corner in Marrakech, you encounter astonishingly vivid groups of men and women, which stand out in a blend of pink, blue, green, and purple caftans.”

Inspiration has the architectural elements of a Moroccan house and holds the creations inspired by traditional Moroccan clothing. It introduces the exotic colors of Marrakech that Saint Laurent found so intoxicating: pink, red, and of course, Majorelle blue - the color of the garden's villa.
