Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche Fall/Winter 1980–1981 Burnout Silk Chiffon Dress
Rare vintage Yves Saint Laurent “rive gauche” dress from the Fall/Winter 1980–1981 collection, crafted in burnout silk chiffon creating a purple striped pattern throughout the fabric. The elegant design features an asymmetrical one-shoulder neckline, long semi-sheer sleeves, and beautifully draped construction gathered at the waist. A flowing ruffled panel cascades down one side, adding movement and emphasizing the fluidity of the silhouette.
An exceptional example of Yves Saint Laurent’s early 1980s runway design, showcasing the house’s mastery of texture, draping, and dramatic evening wear.
Originally presented on the runway and modeled by Amalia Vairelli.
