The gown is a striking example of Yves Saint Laurent's theatrical approach to eveningwear during the late 1980s, combining historical references, sculptural volume and sophisticated material contrasts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bodice is crafted in sumptuous black velvet with long sleeves and an elegant bateau neckline, creating a refined and understated upper silhouette. This simplicity provides a powerful contrast to the spectacular skirt in vivid red faille, whose generous volume gives the gown its unmistakable presence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe skirt is constructed in an asymmetric high-low silhouette, falling shorter at the front before extending dramatically towards the back into a subtle train. Its structured volume and architectural proportions create a particularly theatrical effect, emphasizing the movement and richness of the faille.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe combination of deep black velvet, brilliant red silk faille and exaggerated volume captures the distinctive glamour of Yves Saint Laurent's late-1980s eveningwear. The model is documented in auction archives as an Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche ballgown from the Autumn\/Winter 1988-89 collection and represents a particularly compelling example of the designer's archival work from this period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA highly collectible archival gown, remarkable for its dramatic colour contrast, sculptural construction and unmistakable Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche aesthetic. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eVery good vintage condition. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrand: Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche\u003cbr\u003eCollection: Fall\/Winter 1988-1989\u003cbr\u003eMade in: France\u003cbr\u003eColor: Black, Red \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShoulders: 40 cm \/ 15.7 inches\u003cbr\u003eChest: 40 cm \/ 15.7 inches\u003cbr\u003eSleeves: 60 cm \/ 23.6 inches\u003cbr\u003eFront Length: 105 cm \/ 41.3 inches\u003cbr\u003eBack Length: 155 cm \/ 61.0 inches\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSilhouette: Voluminous and sculptural\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Yves Saint Laurent","offers":[{"title":"40","offer_id":53546998694224,"sku":"W2926.1-40","price":8294.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/5959\/0627\/files\/VIN---saint_20laurent---W29261.jpg?v=1788568212","url":"https:\/\/cavallienastri.mom\/zh-us\/products\/yves-saint-laurent-rive-gauche-fw-1988-89-black-velvet-red-faille-ballgown-w2926-1","provider":"Cavalli e Nastri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
