1970s Lydia Martin Skirt Suit Ensemble Possibly Yves Saint Laurent
About the Item
This arresting late 1970s maxi skirt ensemble in contrasting violet and emerald green is labelled by Lydia Martin and is made of the same fabric and design as an Yves Saint Laurent haute couture dress from the same era sold by Kerry Taylor Lot 160, 8th October 2018. Extensive research has drawn a blank on whether this is a licensed copy of Yves Saint Laurent's design for an upmarket boutique but the quality is the same as haute couture. The floor sweeping skirt and matching tie-tassel belt are of silk crepe fabric, and the blouse is a silk chiffon with a playful irregular polka dot design in warm peach, green and ivory on a pale violet background. The blouse is loose fitting and designed to be slipped over the head, then drawn in with the belt if desired. It features bishops sleeves that fasten with a button on each cuff, and a simple tie fastening at the softly gathered scoop neckline. The generous skirt flares out from a fitted waistband and is arranged into sharp concertina pleats, with a central zip fastening at the reverse. The tie scarf consolidates the look beautifully and adds to the opulent bohemian aesthetic. In absolutely impeccable vintage condition, would best suit a US size 4, UK size 8.

- 1996 Gianni Versace Yellow Jacket Dress SuitBy Versace, Gianni VersaceLocated in London, GBNeon hued dress suit by Gianni Versace Couture which featured in the Spring 1996 ready-to-wear collection, Look number 50. Both the jacket and the dress are made using a beautifully soft silk, in a striking abstract design against a yellow background. The design features brushstroke-like patterns in hot pink, orange, green, white and turquoise, and really epitomises the playful takes on colour which were so favoured by Versace during this period of his career. The dress is cut in a classic mini fit and flare shape - it has a double layered bodice and structured cups for extra support, with gathered detail where the straps meet. The straps themselves tie at the shoulder, and each side features a metal and acrylic Versace medallion...Category

- 1970s Yves Saint Laurent Rich Purple Taffeta Ruffle Skirt SetBy Yves Saint LaurentLocated in London, GBWell documented, this is an absolutely classic and desirable piece of Yves Saint Laurent evening wear dating from 1978-1983. The designer revisited this look several times during the 70s and 80s and we feel that this is quite possibly an early 80s piece. In a beautiful deep purple hue of silk taffeta, this set has some lavish design details and very generous amounts of fabric in the ruffle collar and deep cuffs. The floor length skirt is full and has an unusual asymmetric ruffle flounce so that no length is equal, juxtaposing the formal blouse element. These ensembles always look great tucked in or accompanied by an original YSL rope...Category
