This skirt is part of the same ensemble that Yves commissioned the talented Antonio Lopez to illustrate for the F/W 1984 Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche ad campaign, giving us a firm date that we can document it by.
This beautiful Yves Saint Laurent skirt is from the Fall 1984 Rive Gauche collection. The first thing you notice about it is that gorgeous fabric. It is a gorgeous metallic lame that glimmers in the light and gives the skirt a beautiful sheen. The colors are mix of gold with shots of blues, reds and corals in its design. The skirt is quite full and is set into the waist with a series of sharp knife pleats to help give it that volume you see. Its a great larger size and I love the movement that those pleats give it. Excellent condition.
The skirt is unlined and closes at the side with a painted zipper, snap and flat hook and eye at the waist.
