This is a stunning Yves Saint Laurent evening gown from the 1985 YSL runway collection. This tuxedo inspired strapless dress is in a luxurious black satin, with a collar along the strapless bustline.

This is a gorgeous vintage YSL two piece ensemble, including a sheer, off shoulder ruffled peasant top and a long matching skirt. Worn together, they create a beautiful two piece maxi dress, or the pieces can be worn separately for more styling ability. This dress is made of a sheer black cotton voile with pale yellow, red, sage and brown floral print. The top is sheer, with a ruffled neckline with elastic and puff sleeves. It can be worn off or on shoulder. The sheer top is something that YSL introduced to fashion and his models were some of the first to go braless on the runway. This bold statement was meant to be about female empowerment and equality. The skirt is long, full, and lined in sheer black. There is a separate matching fabric sash style belt and a side zipper and hook and eye on the left side for closure. The style of this vintage Yves Saint Laurent dress...

An exceptional, museum quality Gianni Versace black leather, silk & lace heavily sculpted bondage gown dating back to his iconic 1992 fall-winter runway collection. This iconic collection, provocatively titled 'Miss S&M' definitely goes down in history as one of Gianni Versace's most recognizable looks. Versace’s fantasies came to life, fetishistic elements were worked into glamorous eveningwear, and with no small effort: Vogue said, “Getting strapped required eight hands. These high-maintenance looks were meant to be seen, not in a dungeon somewhere, but on the red carpet." As shown, this particular show-stopper of a gown, Look #62, has been worn by the likes of Christy Turlington, Tyra Banks...

This luxurious caftan was made in Morocco during the1970s, but is origins date back thousands of years and span the globe. The history of the caftan is a bit uncertain. It is believed to have originated from Turkish culture but appears in many others. In Morocco, it was first worn by men but was eventually adopted by women, as well. The loose tunics are historically adorned with ornate trims, like the pink passementerie on this black silk caftan. The narrow silken braid is twisted into the intricate flowing design that borders every edge of this caftan and down its front. The traditional garment was adopted by several countries in Europe and then eventually made its way to the United States - where it was especially popular during the 1970s. The caftan served as inspiration for some of the eras most iconic designers, like the innovative Rudi Gernreich. His avant-garde, unisex caftans debuted at the 1970 World Fair Expo in Osaka, Japan. Garments like the caftan and its intricate embellishments were also reimagined by Yves Saint Laurent in his multicultural designs. As seen in this Moroccan version, the caftan manages to seamlessly integrate stunning details like embroidery into a garment that is still very comfortable to wear. The caftan’s simple but chic silhouette can be worn while lounging at home or dressed up with dramatic accessories for a night on the town. With such versatility, it’s easy to see why the caftan’s appeal has endured for so long. Size estimate: S/M Measurements: Shoulders: 17 inches Sleeves: 18 inches Bust: 38 inches Waist: 36 inches Hips: 40 inches Length: 56 inches This 1970s Moroccan black silk caftan has pink passementerie embroidery. The label reads, 'De Velasco...
