Yves Saint Laurent Fall 1991 Runway Slinky Gold Lame Dress trunk-past The corset and the longThe Shrimpton Couture Archives The twin of this dress was worn on the Yves Saint Laurent runway by supermodel Yasmeen Ghauri. We also found runway footage and lots of reference photos of the dress as she walked the catwalk in it that season. It is an exceptional rare and wonderful piece by Yves Saint Laurent. These gold lame pieces are what defined that season and I am very pleased to have found this example. Especially given its tie in with Yasmeen.
