一直被聖羅蘭描述她為其「女性分身」的 Betty Catroux,有著纖細的框架,秀直金髮和雌雄同體的魅力,長期以來一直是設計師的靈感繆斯,也是品牌美學的化身,代表了Yves Saint Laurent 心中的理想女性形象。

是次展覽繼續由 Saint Laurent 創意總監 Anthony Vaccarello 親自負責策展,是由即日起至 2021年8月15日 於上海當代藝術館展出。對 Anthony Vaccarello 而言, Betty 依然是他當代的靈感繆斯,因此他本人對 Betty Catroux 的時尚風格有著深刻見解,將會透過是次主題展覽展示 Betty 獨特的個性以及其對品牌的影響。

無需贅言,Betty 就是聖羅蘭的化身。那是一種誘惑、 一份神秘,有近乎『邪惡』的一面,也有一種難以捉摸卻又令人嚮往的特質,而所有這些都是品牌光環的內核之所在。當你見到 Betty,就會明白這一切有多麼重要。她鮮活的存在,證明品牌經典永存,永保活力。

在過去三十多年每逢時裝展結束,Betty Catroux 都會挑選能反映她個性和作為現代女性的作品加以珍藏。2019年,Betty Catroux 向皮埃爾·貝爾傑-伊夫·聖羅蘭基金會慷慨捐贈了部分珍藏品,在是次展覽能看見天橋的原型作品。
