Born in Algeria, he moved to Paris to work for designer Christian Dior and, in 1962, launched his own fashion label. For Fall 1966, Laurent introduced “Le smoking”, his legendary smoking suit which adapted classic menswear codes to the feminine body. With the arrival of the Rive Gauche line in 1966, the brand was one of the first to introduce ready-to-wear. Throughout the decades, the house has been shaped by the rock-and-roll sensibilities of Hedi Slimane and the high-glamour vision of Anthony Vaccarello.

The skirt is tailored from coordinating fabric to a high waist fit with a wide, fitted band that hugs the hips. Below the hips, it falls in soft pleats to the floor. It fastens with a hidden tonal zip on the hip. Like the blouse, the skirt is sheer and would be perfect with a black slip or just underwear if you dare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2015, the FIT Museum of NYC exhibited this ensemble titled \"Yves Saint Laurent + Halston: Fashioning the 70s\".  The blouse was also featured in the runway show paired with velvet separates. Both pieces are in excellent archival vintage condition with the following to note: there are some professionally executed repairs around the bottom edge of the skirt, these have been very well done and cannot be noticed when the skirt is being worn, only when held up to the light. This ensemble would make an exceptional addition to the archive of any collector of Yves Saint Laurent. Made in France, the fabric is crafted from 74% Silk, 26% Polyester.  Labelled a French size 38 which is a UK 10; however, the waist on the skirt is small and this ensemble is better suited to US size 4 or UK 8. The fabric has no stretch. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEASUREMENTS TOP\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBUST - 40 in. (102 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWAIST - 42 in.

Made in France, this jacket was created by Ford in 2004 for the final show he designed for the house of Yves Saint Laurent. This exact design walked the runway in green, pink and grey in Yves Saint Laurent’s lauded Fall 2004 show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe jacket has panelled construction and a flared, peplum waist which creates an hourglass shape on the wearer. Tailored from pure silk in a deep charcoal black, it is a shorter style jacket which holds its impeccably tailored shape and is finished with elaborate details. The front fastens with knotted black velvet ribbons and fabric loops which add a decadence typical of Ford’s designs for the house. It has curved, layered lapels and an extra hidden lapel which can be buttoned up to the collar to create a higher, closed neckline at the front - this lapel fastens with hidden pearlescent grey buttons. This collection brought back Saint Laurent’s dramatic, pointed shoulder that curves upwards like the roof of a pagoda and which was made famous by his Chinese collection in 1977. The sleeve is finished with an elongated, soft black cuff which falls elegantly over the hand. At the bust, there are two embroidered details which look like faux-slit pockets. These are also adorned with knotted black velvet fastenings and fabric loops. This jacket is fully lined in black silk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe jacket is in fantastic vintage condition with no faults of any note and looks barely worn.

A pair of shorts in the same mustard yellow colourway was also shown on the runway.

Strappy bustiers subsequently appeared within Rive Gauche, and by Spring\/Summer 1980 the button-front, peplum version had become a recurring feature of the collection.

Following his early career at Christian Dior, he established his own house in 1961, developing a distinctive style characterised by strong silhouettes, rich colour and contrasting textures. His introduction of Le Smoking in 1966 challenged the conventions of women’s evening dress, while his Rive Gauche line helped establish ready-to-wear as a serious counterpart to haute couture. His work balanced sharp tailoring with a more romantic sensibility, moving between pared-back trouser suits and richly embellished eveningwear. Catherine Deneuve, Betty Catroux and Loulou de La Falaise were among his best-known clients and muses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEASUREMENTS JACKET\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBUST - 36 in.
