Yves Saint Laurent
YVES SAINT LAURENT c. 1978/79 Haute Couture 2 Pc. Chantilly Lace Silk Dress Size M
A rare Haute Couture masterpiece, entirely made by hand in the Parisian atelier of Yves Saint Laurent. Yves Saint Laurent presented a very similar model for A/W 1998/99 (rerefence picture), but according to the couture number 45943 our dress should date to either A/W 1978/79 or S/S 1979.
CONDITION
Excellent. Minor signs of wear to the underdress as visible in the detail pictures: 1) a minimal imperfection to the lace, 2) partially light stretch to a seam, 3) light wear (like superficial scratches) to a small part of the fabric. All very minor and not noticeable when worn.
