This is the first exhibition in the UK to present a comprehensive display of the French fashion designer’s work and life. Angela Watson, Head of Art, Design and Technology at The Sixth Form College, commented, “The photographs, drawings and notes the students produced in the exhibition will directly inspire their future work – the experience of seeing such exquisite clothing and design first hand was both exciting and inspiring. The students also took part in a YSL quiz and design competition – with prizes awarded! It was an excellent day out and well worth the journey.” ### Art Students Trip 15 - YSL Exhibit [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/3762/IMG_0472.JPG) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/3762/IMG_0472.JPG) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/3762/IMG_0490cr.jpg) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/3762/IMG_0490cr.jpg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/3762/IMG_0503cr.jpg) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/3762/IMG_0503cr.jpg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/3762/IMG_0509cr.jpg) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/3762/IMG_0509cr.jpg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/3762/IMG_0519cr.jpg) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/3762/IMG_0519cr.jpg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/3762/IMG_0553cr.jpg) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/3762/IMG_0553cr.jpg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/3762/IMG_0571cr.jpg) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/3762/IMG_0571cr.jpg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/3762/IMG_0574cr.jpg) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/3762/IMG_0574cr.jpg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/3762/IMG_0494cr.jpg) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/3762/IMG_0494cr.jpg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/3762/IMG_0506.JPG) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/3762/IMG_0506.JPG) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/3762/IMG_0516cr.jpg) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/3762/IMG_0516cr.jpg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/3762/IMG_0525cr.jpg) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/3762/IMG_0525cr.jpg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/3762/IMG_0540cr.jpg) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/3762/IMG_0540cr.jpg) [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/3762/IMG_0532cr.jpg) ](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/images/gallery/3762/IMG_0532cr.jpg) **[Click here for more information on our A Level & BTEC Art & Design Programmes](http://www.bsfc.ac.uk/courses)** **Tags:** [Art](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/news/tag/art) [Foundation Diploma](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/news/tag/foundation-diploma) [Design](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/news/tag/design) [A Level](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/news/tag/a-level) [Educational Trip](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/news/tag/educational-trip) [graphics](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/news/tag/graphics) [fine art](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/news/tag/fine-art) [Trip](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/news/tag/trip) [Enrichment](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/news/tag/enrichment) [Exhibition](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/news/tag/exhibition) [AS](https://www.bsfc.ac.uk/news/tag/as) -
