This is just extraordinary and exemplifies Yves mastery in cut. He combines the utmost simplicity in this gown and uses the fabric to create the statement. His signature pink is used here in a heavy grade textured silk that is cut completely on the bias and has also been cleverly seamed down the front to create his signature "Y"! The gown is suspended by a mere 3 and a half inch band of black silk velvet. It flows from there in a swatch of pink to the floor, gently widening as it nears the ground. The effect is stark and dramatic but soft and feminine at the same time. Truly a master piece and in excellent condition.
Note that the color is actually that iconic YSL pink it has photoed a touch more hot pink than it is in person - think his famous pink bow dress pink!
The front of the bodice is lined in a silk taffeta over the black silk velvet. The skirt is unlined. It closes with side painted metal zipper
