This rare and iconic blouse from Yves Saint Laurent’s infamous Spring 1971 “Scandal” collection is a true collector’s piece. Crafted from a lightweight and slightly sheer crepe fabric - likely silk or rayon - it features the instantly recognizable lips print in a striking red and white colourway.
The design includes a plunging V-neckline with a front button closure, using beautiful red buttons. The long sleeves are finished with zippered cuffs, and while there is no material tag, the fabric’s feel and finish suggest silk or rayon. Unlined. Made in France.
Pieces from the 1971 collection are extremely rare and highly sought after, marking an important and controversial moment in fashion history. This blouse is a rare opportunity to own a wearable piece from one of the most discussed and daring collections of the 20th century.
CONDITION
The blouse is in remarkably good vintage condition, with no staining, colour bleeding, or fading. The fabric is fresh and retains its vibrancy. There is a small area on the left side (at bust level) where the fabric appears to have been caught, possibly in a suitcase. Please refer to the detailed photos (one on the white mannequin, one against a black background) - this area is relatively subtle when worn. Additionally, the seam of the left sleeve shows some minor imperfections, and the cuff seam may require a few stitches to reinforce. We have left this as-is to preserve the original integrity of the garment. The metal zippers at the cuffs are in excellent condition, further showcasing how beautifully this piece has been preserved.
SIZE
Tagged FR 42. Will likely best fit approximately DE 38, FR 40, IT 44, US 8, UK 12 (MEDIUM), but the cut is relatively flexible and may work one size up or down depending on the desired fit. Please check measurements for accuracy.
