The creative mind of French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent will be honored via a special museum — in Morocco. Inside the structure you’ll find a vast collection of YSL goodies, such as 5,000 clothing pieces along with 15,000 haute couture accessories. In addition, the museum will host a large number of sketches and other miscellaneous memorabilia.

Set to be located in Marrakesh, the Studio KO-designed space will be about 4,000 square feet with detailed aspects such as an exhibition space, bookstore, restaurant with a terrace, 130-seat auditorium and a library that will be the home to around 5,000 books. Its interior is designed to mirror the inside of a runway-ready couture jacket with a smooth and velvety look. Comprised of concrete, terracotta and additional stone fragments, the structure effortlessly complements its surrounding.

The Yves Saint Laurent museum is expected to open in the fall of 2017. Check out some of its planned looks above and let us know your thoughts.
