Fans of French designer Yves Saint Laurent&nbsp;can mark their calendars. Come October 2017, The Fondation Pierre Berg&eacute; &ndash;&nbsp;Yves Saint Laurent will open two museums in Paris and Marrakesh dedicated to the legacy of the famous designer.

Located in&nbsp;the historical couture house on&nbsp;5 avenue Marceau, where Saint&nbsp;Laurent worked almost 30 years, from 1974 to 2002, the Parisian museum will host a&nbsp;constantly updated display of the designer&#39;s&nbsp;haute couture garments, sketches, collection boards, and photographs.&nbsp;Stage designer Nathalie Crini&egrave;re and interior designer Jacques Grange&nbsp;plan to recreate&nbsp;exhibition area that will be twice as large as the existing space and&nbsp;refurbish&nbsp;the designer&rsquo;s couture house in its original style

The larger museum in Marrakesh will be located on Rue Yves-Saint Laurent near Jardin Majorelle, a garden that he and business partner&nbsp;Pierre Berg&eacute;&nbsp;saved from development in 1980. Currently, it is&nbsp;home to a Berber cultural museum and cultural site that receives 700,000 visitors a year.

French architectural&nbsp;firm Studio KO is behind the 4,000 square meter space&nbsp;that will comprise a museum with a permanent collection of&nbsp;Saint Laurent&rsquo;s work, a space for temporary exhibitions, an auditorium, a research library, as well as a caf&eacute; and restaurant.
