"The beauty of Saint Laurent's colors lies in the fact that they don't make sense. They do not obey the logic of taste, the precepts of harmony, the laws of contrast and complementariness. At times they clash like warring factions; at others, they melt in mutual benevolence. On occasion, Saint Laurent, enraptured with the splendor of a certain shade, ruthlessly excludes all potential rivals; on another, he squeezes as many nuances between a black and a grey as the Marx Brothers stuffed people into a ship's cabin."
