Spotlight on Vintage: Saint Laurent Vintage Floral Dress

We're all familiar with the brand YSL or Yves Saint Laurent, it's synonymous as one of the largest, luxury brands of our time.

Yves Saint Laurent was formed in 1961 and their ready to wear collection was labelled Saint Laurent Rive Gauche.

Our gorgeous water colour floral print dress is from this same label.

It has a spectacular Bardot neckline that's all the rage now. This fabulous number is a 1980's dress disguised as a 1950's one but without seeing the label it would be hard for someone to guess the era.

The print itself has soft pastel tones that are reminiscent of Monet's water lilies paintings.

Did you know that a few years ago Yves Saint Laurent re-branded their clothing back to Saint Laurent? It caused a bit of a stir in the fashion world but they did keep the YSL logo for their cosmetics and accessories.

This stunning designer dress was be an incredible addition to any vintage mavens wardrobe.

It's available to buy in store or on Open For Vintage. You lucky gals!!!

YSL or Saint Laurent, doesn't matter... it's fabulous!!!

You'd be pretty hard pushed to find anyone who hadn't heard of YSL or Yves Saint Laurent. I for one am addicted to their cosmetic range, particularly the Touche Eclat highlighter pen. It's a permanent fixture in my make-up bag!

But did you know the original ready to wear brand was called Saint Laurent Rive Gauche and it has since reverted back to this name.

In our most recent collection we have acquired this incredible off-the-shoulder cocktail dress by Saint Laurent. It's a 1980's creation that takes it's inspiration from the form fitting shapes of the 1950's. In fact, Yves Saint Laurent began his career as an assistant to Christian Dior before he established his own design house.

Now, who wouldn't love to own a little piece of fashion history?

Our Saint Laurent dress is a size 6-8 and is €410
