Yves Saint Laurent YSL Brown Openwork Knit Pullover Sweater Top, 1980s

About the Item

Charming Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche vintage sweater in cinnamon-coloured openwork viscose knit from the 1980s. Fitted style with short sleeves and unlined with no closure (pulls on over the head). This top has the added provenance of coming directly from a lady that worked for the YSL shop in Munich so has not been on the market prior to this. The label reads "Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche Paris, Made in France". It is tagged a French size 44 but runs smaller. Yves Saint Laurent was born in 1936 in Oran, Algeria and began his career as an assistant of Christian Dior. When Dior died in 1957, he became the artistic director. In 1962 he opened his own fashion house, and in 1966, he created his ready-to-wear line Rive Gauche. By the 1980s, Yves Saint Laurent was a true icon. He was the first living designer to receive a solo exhibition in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1983. He died in 2008. Excellent vintage condition. Shoulders: 38 cm – 15" (seam to seam) Bust: 82 cm – 32.3" (not stretched) Waist: 79 cm – 31.1" (not stretched) Sleeve length: 24 cm – 9.4" Length: 52 cm – 20.5" Measurements are taken flat and then doubled for bust and waist. Corresponding Modern Size: S-M

  • S/S 2004 PRADA Runway Beige Brown Python Leather Belted Trench Coat
    By Miuccia Prada, Prada
    Located in Munich, DE
    This exceptional coat was Look 3 in the Spring 2004 line-up from fashion icon Miuccia Prada. Vogue Runway said of this collection: "Over almost a decade of ground-breaking experimentalism, Miuccia Prada has explored everything from irony to deliberate ugliness to intellectual subversion. She’s been there, done that, and has the souvenirs to prove it. For Spring 2004, the designer turned her attention to the stiffest fashion challenge of the day: how to make feminine, happily nostalgic clothes without rehashing the clichés of vintage? “It was about tourism and craftsmanship, many things,” she said of a show that revisited the optimistic fifties to bring back a full set of densely packed suitcases. Out tumbled every possible variation on the classic touring wardrobe: circle skirts printed with illustrated Mediterranean scenes, shirtwaists and Capri pants, sundresses and bathing suits, button-through skirts and lovely evening frocks, silk madras bras and little tulle full-skirted dance dresses. What set the collection apart were the subtle twists, like the way Prada will gently mess up fabric with dip-dye and tie-dye, turn seams inside out, or leave edges raw. Something in the proportion of her neat little tops, belted slightly above the waist, to the fullness and length of her skirts, to the height of her T-strap shoes or pumps, inexplicably excuses the silhouette from the frumpiness of the literal fifties line. Meanwhile, students of Pradaology will note that her sight-seeing tour also revisits some favorite landmarks of her own career: the silk pleated goddess dresses, fur tippets...
