[su_expand more_text="Read more" less_text="Read less"] Read our detailed expert description A stunning, iconic and elegant vintage 1996 YVES SAINT LAURENT brocade jacket from the VARIATION collection. Handcrafted in metallic floral print in multi colour: green, blue, gold, pink...Double breasted with two oversize hammered round gold tone jewel buttons at the front, shoulder pads, yellow Lining. A "Must-Have", a very rare, highly collectible YVES SAINT LAURENT evening Jacket. Styled with a vintage YVES SAINT LAURENT NECKLACE 1980s and with a vintage YVES SAINT LAURENT CUFF BRACELET for sale separately. The Story Behind: In the 1960s, society had evolved in such a way that the norms imposed by haute couture had become obsolete. A growing number of women wanted to be able to dress themselves elegantly and affordably. Yves Saint Laurent followed his desire to create clothing for everyone, not just the wealthy. On September 26, 1966, Yves Saint Laurent became the first couturier to open a ready-to-wear boutique under his name. It was located at 21 rue de Tournon in Paris’s 6e arrondissement. Instead of conceiving ready-to-wear as a lower priced version of haute couture, he created a completely separate collection and treated the prototypes with just as much care. It was a definite success. A boutique opened in New York in 1968, and a London branch followed the year after. In 1969, Saint Laurent also opened a ready-to-wear boutique for men. The success of 1970 made Yves Saint-Laurent Rive Gauche the leading exporter of luxury ready-to-wear womenswear. In December 1982, the business expanded to create a second line, Variation. ]]> YVES SAINT LAURENT Vintage Brocade Double Breasted Jewel Buttons Jacket 1996
