1989 Yves Saint Laurent Haute Couture Magenta Pink Silk Off-Shoulder Draped Gown

About the Item

An absolutely magnificent and incredibly rare Yves Saint Laurent haute couture documented gown from his iconic 1989-90 fall/winter runway collection. It is insanely chic with its fluid hand-draped construction. The fabric is a luxurious duel layer shocking magenta silk charmeuse which feels heavenly against the skin. I adore the slightly gathered off-shoulder bodice with long zipper-wrist sleeves. He then uses an ingenious asymmetric draping technique that gives the gown so much depth and texture. The flattering nipped waist with wrap style skirting emphasizes a woman's seductive shape without adding any bulk or volume to the actual hips. Yves Saint Laurent's influence is with us still and his place in the pantheon of creativity is unlikely to change until fashion itself does. A stunning slice of documented fashion history. Measurements Bust: 36-37 inches Waist: 28 inches Hips: up to 40 inches Total Length: 57 inches This Yves Saint Laurent Haute-Couture numbered 65221 gown is in excellent condition with no rips, alternations or holes. Only signs of wear are a few pulls to the silk and a very tiny spot to the skirt which is hidden by the draping. Please message for detailed pictures. This documented gown is all hand-finished. Closes with Éclair metal zipper and interior waist stay. A beautiful investment piece that will continue to increase in value.

1950s Unknown Aesthetic Evening Dresses

Vintage 1970 Mainbocher Couture Vogue Documented Hot Pink Flocked Silk Dress
By Mainbocher
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
Gorgeous Mainbocher couture shocking pink abstract floral dress dating back to his 1970 collection. As shown, this design was modeled by Loulou de la Falaise for Vogue magazine. Mainbocher was a well-respected couturier who operated fashion houses in Paris and later New York from the 1930's through the 1970's. Mainbocher's arrival in New York coincided perfectly with the city élite's love for French couture, for though he epitomized it, he satisfied their patriotism because he was actually an American. The integrity of luxurious fabrics, intricate cut, quality workmanship were cherished by Mainbocher's upper crust customers. This mid 1960's dress is a perfect example of his genius. The fabric is a lush mid-weight velvet flocked silk satin. The 3/4-length sleeve buttons down bodice really compliments the classic nipped-waist silhouette. The dress can even be worn as a dramatic jacket if you choose to leave it unbuttoned. You get the effect of elegance and edgy at the same time. I love the sculpted mermaid skirting which really moves beautifully when worn. As Mainbocher once said "I have never known a really chic...
