This rare Yves Saint Laurent set from Fall 1976, the iconic Russian Collection, comprises a peasant blouse and a floor-length maxi skirt. The blouse features a straight cut with a round neckline and incredibly full billowing sleeves with buttoned cuffs. It closes with a row of its original buttons and two hidden snap buttons at the front. The floor-length skirt features a generously flared cut and closes at the side with a sipper and a metal hook and eye. The main fabric is a beautiful wool challis (100% wool) in a deep true blue with an opulent graphic floral print in shades of turquoise, green, yellow, pink and orange. The top of the skirt is made from blue velvet. Both pieces are unlined. Made in France.
