Festival d’Automne à Paris
The Yves Saint Laurent haute couture house began regularly supporting the Festival d'Automne de Paris as early as 1978. It is one of the most important festivals in Europe devoted to the contemporary arts, presenting works that stand as references while also encouraging experimental approaches and commissioning new pieces from artists. Beginning in 2002, the Fondation Pierre Bergé - Yves Saint Laurent continued to support the Festival d'Automne de Paris as the haute couture house had once done and became a Major Patron in 2010.
