The woman who turned a stiletto into a hat: fashion, surrealism, and Elsa Schiaparelli

It is impossible to talk about fashion and art without celebrating the life and work of the one for whom fashion and art were an inseparable entity, the iconic designer of the 20th century - Yves Saint Laurent. Art and artists moved and inspired him to create, and his unique taste made him one of the most important art collectors of his time. We will visit the turbulent life story of someone who started his career at the age of 20 as a chief designer in the house of Dior and later founded one of the largest and most influential fashion houses of his generation. A lecture that is a celebration of fashion and art as only Saint Laurent could draw: from his unforgettable collections, through the inspirations from Western and non-Western art, to the huge exhibition honoring his love of art that opened this year and spanned six museums in Paris.

The queen may lack a crown, but she dons a cone bra, fishnet stockings, and the iconic name Madonna! The ultimate diva of Western pop, who, with her debut record, sent the world into a frenzy with her groundbreaking style, continues to shape and influence the fashion scene. Madonna is the master of the stage persona, using clothes and accessories as tools for social revolution and a shield against relentless public scrutiny. In her lecture, Yaara Keydar explores the life of this modern icon—a tale of courage and personal sacrifice woven through the musical milestones and stylistic evolutions of a woman who constantly reinvents herself while always staying true to who she is. Madonna, this is a love song.
