Created in Tandem with the Denver Art Museum's Yves Saint Laurent: The Retrospective, Videos Feature Denver Designers and Fashionistas

DENVER, Feb. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Since its announcement last year, the Denver Art Museum's presentation of Yves Saint Laurent: The Retrospective (March 25-July 8, 2012) – an exhibition previously only on view in Paris and Madrid – fashion lovers have asked: "Why Denver?" In-the-know Denverites know the answer. For years, the Mile High City has been a hotbed for creativity, style and luxury – all aspects that the Yves Saint Laurent name has come to embody.
