I love the simplicity of form of this early 1980s Charles Jourdan black cocktail dress. It has a wide boatneck and fantastic cold shoulder sleeve so that the top of the arm is exposed. The sleeve itself is batwing and very tapered, finishing in a neat, buttoned cuff. The pattern on the fabric reminds me of the lines created by waves hitting a sandy beach. Its such an interesting jacquard silk feel material with the way that the weft and warp has been woven creating both matte and satin finishes to bring out a two-dimensional look. The dress it has a thigh high split...

“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...
