An iconic dress from the S/S 1988 Luxe collection, this piece is a gorgeous example of Lacroix's extravagant aesthetic.

1980s Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche silk floral wrap dress

1980s Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche silk floral wrap dress

By Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche

Located in CULEMBORG, GE

This figure flattering, silk, wrap-dress by Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche from 1980* has a beautiful multicolor floral print. The pink, orange and purple flowers surrounded by green leafs are set on a black ground. At the neck, there is an interior tie to close up above the bust. The inside is lined around the shoulders and it comes with a matching sash stitched on the back. Taking a closer look at the Jabot-style collar and ruffled sleeves covered in pink and orange stripes it shows how beautifully constructed Yves Saint Laurent's ready-to-wear items where made. The vivid colors and combination of stripes and flowers give the all together look a funky Parisienne touch: feminine, but rather cool with a touch of romance. The indicated size FR 38 corresponds to a contemporary size S but because of the two strategic placed hooks at the waist it is possible to adjust this dress and therefore it would also fit a size M (FR40). Item measurements (lying flat): Size: FR 38 Shoulders: 50 cm (sleeves incl.) Sleeves: 64 cm (from shoulder) Bust: 45 cm Waist: 35 up to 40 cm Hips: up to 60 cm Length: 100 cm up to 110 cm (back) Model Nieve wears a size S with a 1.80 meter length. All items I sell are being professionally cleaned, pressed and are odor free. We offer free shipping on all (international) orders. * Additional information: When I was gathering information about this lovely silk Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche floral wrap dress...

Questions About Patrick Kelly Evening Dresses and Gowns

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024
    Patrick Kelly is famous for his work as a fashion designer. The Mississippi-born designer presented his first collection in 1985 and quickly drew attention for his vibrant designs inspired by his Southern upbringing and African American heritage, as well as the gay club scenes of New York and Paris. He accessorized pieces like bodycon knit jersey dresses with bombastic details, including oversized bows, buttons and hearts. His joyous runway shows, which included mostly Black models, were also groundbreaking. He died on January 1, 1990, from complications from AIDS. Recent exhibitions like Patrick Kelly: Runway of Love, which debuted in 2014 at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, have returned his bold and vibrant work to the spotlight. On 1stDibs, explore a range of Patrick Kelly pieces.
