Fall 1977 Ad Campaign Yves Saint Laurent Dress designer-nat-kaplan The fabric is amazing -

The fabric is amazing - it feels so unusual and wonderful - you will be constantly touching it

I love this Indian silk set

It falls in a sheath of fabric over the body and has an additional panel of fabric on one side that drapes and warps over to hide the side zipper and give the dress extra drape and volume

Fully lined in a cream silk and closes with a back painted metal zipper

They are applied in stacked little rows so you get two effects - one that wonderful gloss and shimmer from the sheen of the sequins themselves

Fall 1977 Ad Campaign Yves Saint Laurent Dress designer-nat-kaplan The fabric is amazing -This is an iconic looks from the Russian influenced Rive Gauche collection from the Fall of 1977 and these are hard to find in such pristine condition. It is the same dress used in the ad campaigns that year but with a different print. Cut as a simple smock style dress but with the added touches that make it irrevocably Yves Saint Laurent in terms of style and chicness. The fabric is a soft, silk and wool challis that holds the vibrant color
