If you are a Hedi Slimane fan then you know that the Spring 2013 collection was his debut collection for Saint Laurent. Vogue said that he "hot-wired himself into the YSL legacy with Le Smoking, the mousselines, the pussy bows, the shot of animal spot, and that thing called Saharienne (which will always be Veruschka in Vogue. The tassels said Morocco—they also said Opium, à la Yves." It was a bevy of rock-chic couture and everything shown was about length of the body and a nod to the seventies. The twin of this dress was in the opening moments of the show for Look 4 and it was the first glimpse of his version of the YSL safari look. He took what is a house signature and elongated it in suede to fit his vision. It was one of his strongest pieces of the show.

I actually love this dress. I think it was a brilliant way to re-do an iconic look from YSL and make it his own. It also fully fits in with his love for long, lean length when it comes to his design aesthetic. The dress is made out of a soft supple suede in a classic deep neutral colour. It falls all the way to the floor and appears to be in its original uncut length. The collar is sharp and pointed and I love the straps on the top of each shoulder. He lightly padded the shoulders for a bit of added structure and the sleeves are long. Each sleeve ends in a corded lace up and I think this added detail works perfectly on this dress. You can see in the close-up shots from the runway that he wrapped these laces around the lower arm. At the front we see that same lace up cording run down to just past the waist. This is what makes the safari look so fantastic and add a touch of sexiness because you can see a bit of bare skin through the laces. On the front are four top set flap pockets that are another nod to this same detail on Yves' original design. It skims over the bust, waist and hips and then flares out quite a bit by the time it reaches the bottom hem. It comes with a matching suede belt for added shape and all of these elements add up to something that is both classic and fresh. It is one of my favourite dresses that he created from his time at YSL and this is a collectible future vintage piece. Excellent condition.

Unlined and closes with a side set zipper and then you can adjust the lower portion of the sleeves and the front with the laces that you see. The pockets snap to close and they are all functional. The belt is a simple suede wrap and tie belt. The suede has natural variations

The twin of this dress walked the runway for the Spring 1990 Haute Couture collection. Its twin was shown under a jacket on model Gloria Burgess and we found the original sketch of the dress in my YSL folio. I thought it interesting to see that Gloria was not the original model intended for the dress and that there was a change by Yves as to who wore it on the actual runway and you can see that interesting little detail in the sketch. I have included all the reference photos for you here and it gives you a beautiful idea of how fabulous this is once on the body. This is also the collection that the book 'Yves Saint Laurent: Catwalk' notes that "The end of this catwalk show was greeted by 10 minutes of a standing ovation, following Yves Saint Laurent's homage - via 119 designs - to the hugely talented men and women who had thus far influenced him and made an impression upon him". The dress is gorgeous and Yves always cut his couture pieces so perfectly. It really is a beautiful piece and in my opinion, owning a piece of his couture work is one of the ultimate vintage acquisitions.

The dress is amazing and showcases how wonderful Yves Saint Laurent could cut a dress to flatter a woman's body. It is made entirely by hand and the silk is that heavier richer silk that you only see in the very best pieces of couture. The top is cut to skim over you and blouse over the waist. The shoulders have padding to extend the line of them outwards a touch over the ends of the shoulder. The sleeves are cut full through the upper arms and then narrow to the wrists. Each cuff ends with four handmade silk covered buttons and loops and each button is perfectly functional. The neckline is set a touch wide across. The silk is gathered around the waist into soft folds to create a little extra bit of a detailing. The folds are set slightly off to the side and on an slight angle that visually helps to extend the body of the person wearing it. The waist is seamed but cut on the more generous side. To cinch it in we have added an ivory silk chiffon sash that is a beautiful match to the dress. The skirt falls under that in a simple shape that flares out as it nears the hem. It falls to just about the knee or above depending on your height and there are hidden pockets along each hip. The colour of the silk is beautiful creamy ivory. This is a brilliant dress and when you see it in person you will fall in love with how good it is in person. It really shows how sometimes simplicity can have so much of an impact. It would be a dress that might make an amazing wedding dress for the bride looking for a non-traditional choice, for a day wedding, or as an alternative dress in a more extended wedding celebration. Excellent condition.

Fully lined in an ivory silk and all the work is done by hand to Haute Couture standards. It closes with a hand set side zipper and a button at the back of the neck. An inner waist stay hooks to close. Each cuff has four hand made silk buttons and loop. Padding in each shoulder as described above. Completely made by hand. Proper Haute Couture numbered label present. The silk chiffon sash is not original to the dress but will be sent with it. Any change in colour that you see in the photos is lighting.

The twin of this set walked the Spring 1990 runway and it is one of my favourite looks from that show. This set is not 100% perfect but it is completely wearable and too good to pass by. I am very pleased to have found it and I love it. It is such a rare and special piece from this time period.

This set is one of those pieces that just stops you in your tracks. It is insanely cut and the colour combination is fantastic. The jacket is made from a fine lightweight silk and combines a bright emerald green and then an amazing hot pink interior. The skirt is made out of a light black silk jersey that moves exceptionally well. The colours are even better than how it photoed and it is almost shocking to see the pink interior in person. The jacket has a soft cut that has some fullness through the upper body. There is no collar and the neckline dips down into a V to just below the bust. There is a brilliant flower in a muted coral red that sits at the base of the V. The flower has beading detail at its centre and I love this added detailing. The shoulders are lightly padded for shape and the sleeves are set into the jacket with soft gathers to add a touch of a capped feel. Each sleeve is cut slightly wider at the top near the shoulder and is cut on a slight curve to follow the arm. There is a seam gathered at the very front of the waist under the flower which creates a little ruffled detail. Inside the jacket there is a built in waist stay to keep the jacket in place but it is only attached at the sides and front. This allows the silk to drape loose and soft across the back. It is quite a genius. The skirt is simple in shape but has its own wow factor. The waist is banded and there is an attached black satin tie to add a little detail. The jersey is all gathered into the waist and falls in a soft straight line to the knee depending on your height. Hidden pockets sit on each hip. This is a particularly wonderful example of how he combined strong tailoring with brilliant colour. Excellent overall condition with a note below

The jacket is lined in a shocking pink silk. The jacket hooks to closes under the flower pin and the inner waist stay also hooks to close. The jacket has its original hang tag. Light padding in the shoulders. I see some yellowing areas to the fabric lightly scattered over the surface and more apparent in the crook on one arm. Please see the photos after the label shot. The skirt zips to close at the side. Pockets on the each hip. The skirt has a numbered label and is hand finished throughout. It almost appears to be a couture piece. The jacket is tagged a vintage YSL 40

When dating this extraordinary Yves Saint Laurent dress, we found a photo of a piece with almost an identical cut bodice from 1972 along with several runway photos that show other pieces with that same cut to the bodice. I have included those here for you and it is interesting to note that the pleating technique that is used around the upper hip of the skirt was also done in a more intricate fashion for the 1974 Couture show. Yves often use ideas from both collections. - Rive Gauche and Couture - to build and develop ideas and it is fascinating to see the progression of his work from garment to garment. This is an incredibly beautiful example of his work from this time period.

This dress combines a floral silk chiffon with a muted red silk on the skirt. This combination is absolutely gorgeous. Is combination of silks give the dress just enough weight and structure to be able to create the impressive lines and volume that you see but while still making it feel soft and romantic. The colours are spectacular. The top is a printed silk chiffon, and it has a stunning floral pattern in red purples and greens that float over the entire bodice and the sleeves. The bodice is cut to skim over you and the waist nips in. It plunges at the front and crosses over itself, and the neckline has been detailed with ruffles that begin at the back of the neck and circle around to follow the V at the front and then run down to the waist. piping in the same fabric detail. The waste and ties have been left off to the side to hang down and create a pretty little detail. The skirt falls to the floor from there and it has yards and yards of fabric in it that creates the fullness and volume that you see. The skirt falls in a gently widening line and is quite full by the time it reaches the hem. I love the volume that this type of fabric creates and how it billows around you as you move but at the same time it is as light as a feather. Around the entire upper hip area, and starting at the waist or a series of tiny cleats that gradually open out to create the volume underneath. This intricate detail is a beautiful addition to the dress. The sleeves are outstanding. Each is a single layer of the silk chiffon and are wide and very full. They are caught up at the wrist with a circle full circle ruffle underneath. This creates a beautiful and dramatic finish to the top. I love everything about this dress. Excellent condition.

Fully lined in a red silk and closes at the back with a hidden set painted met zipper. Attached ties at the waist and elastic in each cuff. The silk skirt and the exterior layer is a tool ruffle that helps keep the volume through the skirt. Tagged a vintage YSL 38. I see some light marks around the hem of the skirt.

The twin of this dress walked the runway for the Fall 1987 show and we have included reference photos of it from the runway for you so that you can see how fabulous it is on the body. We even found one where you can see the model walking back down the runway so you can see how gorgeous it is from the back as well. It is an easy to wear and very chic little YSL.

This is a really gorgeous dress. It is made from a lace fabric that has an unusual blue-purple colour running through it. Metallic thread runs through the lace and then over that are thousands of glossy black sequins that follow the pattern of the lace. The sequins catch the light from every angle but in a subtle way that I love. The lace has an open cut that is lined it with a deep blue silk chiffon. It has a touch of transparency to it but its wearable. This combination also keeps it light so that it feels amazing once on the body. The dress sits off the shoulder to leave a bare expanse of skin across the top. The neckline wraps around the shoulders and it is finished with a pretty black silk organza ruffle. The silk of the ruffles has just enough structure so that it holds its shape perfectly. The sleeves fall to just past the elbow and each is also finished with a ruffle. From there the dress skims over you, running over the bust and past the waist, with no seaming there to break the line. At the top of the hip there is a seam that has another ruffled detailing. The skirt falls under that and widens out as it nears the hem. A final ruffle goes all the way around the edge of the skirt. The back of the skirt is set to hang a touch longer than the front. This gives you a beautiful curve from the side  and adds a touch of pretty volume. It is a gorgeous dress and really showcases Yves' innovative eye and design genius. It appears to have been worn very little if at all. Excellent condition

Loris Azzaro launched his label in 1967 and quickly defined his trademark looks by using ornate beading, sequins, daring cut-outs and avant garde ways of defining the body. Some of the most beautiful women in the world wore his clothing including Marisa Berenson, Raquel Welch, Jane Birkin, Sophia Loren, Brigitte Bardot and Tina Turner. It was a label that defined sexiness and had a certain French flare that women world-wide loved. This is a label that I really love and am always happy to find pieces of.

This is an easy dress to wear because of the fabrics that it is made out of. Making fabrics that were comfortable to wear on the body glamorous and luxurious was one of the core philosophies of how Azzaro designed. This dress is made out of a black jersey through the body, which allows it some give, and then the remarkable sleeves are made out of a fine black chiffon. The lightness of the fabric used for the sleeves gives them incredible movement once this is on the body. The neckline sits wide across the neck and then it is edged in a row of overlapping black sequins. It skims over the body from there, past the bust, waist and hips to open out slightly as it nears the hem. Onto the front of the dress are five curving seams that are highlighted with a band of sequins. They almost give the impression of slashes across the front of the dress. The final sequin band curves down to meet the top of a slit that allows for some bare leg to show when you walk. The sleeves fall over the shoulders and are completely open along their insides. Once on the body these cascade all the way down to the hem of the dress and create the most incredible moment. The chiffon that they are made of keeps them ultralight so as you move they catch the slightest bit of air to swirl and billow around you. It is an incredibly easy dress to wear and incredibly glamorous once on the body. Excellent condition.

Unlined and slips on to to wear with a hidden set side zipper. It appears to have been worn very little if at all. The fabric does have some stretch and the measurements below are the comfortable range when laying flat

Bust: 16.5-19" flat across from side seam to side seam

The Fall 1994 Chanel show by Karl Lagerfeld is perhaps one of the most well known of his older shows. This is the show where Karl introduced many of his now iconic faux fur looks. In that show he also did a series of these great little coats that were shown with hats and wide belts on the runway. The twin of this one walked the runway for Look 20 and I love that this gives you the chance to see it on a body. It is so so good. 

The colour of this jacket seems to be in extremely dark blue that looks black depending on the lighting. Every time I decide that it is one colour I see it in a slightly different light or from a different angle and I change my mind again. The jacket itself is stunning. It feels like it is made out of a cashmere or perhaps a cashmere mix and is very soft to the touch. It is a more structured piece and the lines of it are amazing. The collar is wide and notched and the sleeves are long. Each sleeve ends in a cuff that is highlighted by four gold Chanel logo embossed buttons. I love that each buttonhole on the cuffs are functional which shows the high level of construction in the piece. The vertical seams of the jacket are highlighted by top-stitched thin panels of in same fabric. These circle all the way around the waist and is done on all of the main seaming on the entire bodice. It buttons up down the front with nine more of those gorgeous Chanel logo buttons. The skirting is phenomenal and when you lay it out flat you realize that it is a full true circle skirt if not a little beyond a circle. This gives it that incredible flare that you see and incredible movement as you move. On the runway they cinched in the waist with wide belts and if you wanted to re-create that look you could easily add your own. The workmanship on this coat fantastic.  It is everything you look for in a vintage Chanel piece. Excellent condition.

Fully lined in a deep blue silk lining and closes down the front as shown. The buttons on the pockets and cuffs are all functional. Light padding in each shoulder. Tagged a vintage Chanel 40.

This spectacular dress is the twin of the dress that was worn by Linda Evangelista for the Fall 1994 Karl Lagerfeld runway show. It also has the added provenance of being photoed for British Vogue that November. The dress is from Karl Lagerfeld's own label. He launched his self-named label in 1984 and this dress is from 1991 making it a fairly early example of the work he was doing for his own label. Pieces from his personal label were far edgier then the work he did for Chanel. It was a label where he explored a more avant garde feel with his designs and pushed the envelope more. This is a fantastic example of his work for that label. 

This is a fantastic dress. It is easy to wear and very sexy. On the runway Linda was styled with it falling completely off the shoulder and you can wear it like that or have that side sit up more on the actual shoulder. The edge of the neckline is cut on a angle that goes across and down to expose a bare expanse of skin. The shoulders are soft and the sleeves are cut to be a little extra long. At the ends of each sleeve  they are finished off at angle that comes down and over the hand. The fabric is a cut velvet set in little rows over a bias cut chiffon base. The colour is a deep burgundy red that is flattering on most skin tones. It skims over the bust waist and hips and I love how the rows are set on an angle to create the illusion of extra length. The hem follows the dip of the neckline with the skirt falling all the way to the floor on the one side and then coming up to about the knee area depending on your height on the other. It is fantastic and I love the tie in to Linda. Excellent condition with one minor note below.
