Yves Saint Laurent was so unbelievably good at many things but really the most important thing is that he was the master of ready to wear. Making beautiful things that were amazing to wear on a daily basis, his work was not solely for socialites attending museum benefits but for women with a lusty sort of confidence that wanted wonderful things to wear as soon as they got out of bed in tne morning. And nobody did a blouse like he did. Cut like a slim men's shirt through the body, it is the sleeves that always give his blouses their feminine eppeal. Gathered around the armhole, they balloon out to come in close again at the wrist with a tiny button and loop closure. This version, done in bright cerise cotton voile with huge red and fuchsia poppies, is charming tucked into the waist of a white Narciso Rodriguez skirt as well as over jeans that you're spent a lifetime breaking in. Sheer but not having lost any brilliance of color or depth for its transparency, this floats nicely over curves. Fastens along the placket with a row of tiny black buttons, it was designed for his Rive Gauche label. Bust measures 38", shoulder to shoulder 16.5", outer sleeve 23" and length 27.5". Flawless, unworn condition with original price tags. $325.00 |
