Vogue journalists Suzy Menkes gave a sneak preview of one of the exhibits earlier this week:

Menke says in Vogue magazine: "On one side are black outfits, the depth, texture and decoration of the fabrics creating a sense of shaded colour - while the area opposite is alive with colour and the African influences that the designer had deep in his soul, which could be traced back to his upbringing in Algeria, as well as his discovery of Marrakesh in 1966."

Marrakesh was loved by the French fashion designer who died in 2008.

His gardens, called the Majorelle Garden, is already a major tourist attraction in the city.
