  • 1984 Yves Saint Laurent Runway 2 piece Abstract Black Stripe Silk Dress
    By Yves Saint Laurent
    Located in Portland, OR
    This is a really wonderful Yves Saint Laurent vintage 2 piece silk dress that we have documented on the 1984 runway! It has a black and white abstract patterned silk looks almost like zebra stripes! The white sections have tone on tone shiny spots that resemble cheetah spots. YSL loved this print and used it in several different color ways, we have three different versions! The neckline of the blouse is gathered, and looks like it is elastic but is fixed, and the skirt is a wrap style, securing at the waist. This outfit also comes with a matching sash that we have shown as a belt, but can also be worn as a necktie or hair tie! We love that this YSL outfit...
