Yves Saint Laurent Silk Brocade Jacket Butterfly Skirt Ensemble Runway YSL, 1989

14 People watching this product now!

Encompassing his appeal for international inspiration, YSL blended Eurasian styles with his usual bright color combinations during the Fall/Winter 1989 collection. Mr. Saint Laurent’s ability to make globally inspired designs by melding several aesthetics into one beautifully articulated garment is a hallmark of the renowned designer. From the 1989 collection, this ensemble is done in a beautifully detailed silk brocade fabric creating a motif of whimsical butterflies and florals in vibrant colors of orange, yellow-green and cerise on a ground of a serene ocean blue. Lurex threads throughout give this ensemble an added majestic feel. The jacket is constructed in a classic 80s style with squared shoulders and a tapered sleeve. It is tailored nicely though the bodice and gives a nipped waist that is accented by a voluminous peplum that is attached on a slight angle which adds interest to the silhouette and allows for a more flattering fit. The ankle-length skirt is simplified to balance the drama of the top. It has a less structured body which allows for a gentle flouncing. A shocking thigh-high slit on the proper right revealing the exuberant pink lining introduces a dash of sexy shock factor to this ensemble. An excellent vintage ensemble that can be worn true to form or styled separately for a more modern take, this YSL suit can be seen in the images above on the 1989 runway.
