Yves Saint Laurent black velvet evening dress fuchsia taffeta sleeves, c.1980s
By Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche
Located in London, GB
“One should always be tempted to untie a woman’s clothes” – Yves Saint Laurent A symbol of femininity and the love that Yves Saint Laurent had for women, the bow — be it demure or sexy, a velvet loop or a satin tie — has woven its way through his collections. Here the bold fuchsia taffeta bow gracefully placed to create the visual effect of a corset on the black velvet to highlight the lovely décolleté of the evening dress. the bold fuchsia colour is also a signature of the designer's style. Saint Laurent had a colour philosophy believing that colour is a " reflection of the soul'. But the right colour combination was essential. Here a bold splash of fuchsia juxtaposed with velvety black gives a magical visual effect. This iconic evening dress shows the designer's dexterity in creating fashion for women that is inventive, elegant, has youthful exuberance, theatrical daring and great visual beauty. This evening dress spoke eloquently of the designer’s timeless sense of style and huge influence on fashion that is a template for style that is still followed today. This 1980s cocktail dress...
