Black and Cream Spring/Summer 1980 Skirt Suit
Fabulous jacket and skirt suit from the Yves Saint Laurent Spring 1980 collection. Both pieces made from a light weight wool gabardine and are colour blocked in black and a contrasting cream - a nod to the mod pieces from YSL in the 1960s. The jacket is collarless and cropped at the waist with black woven cord trim and stunning large black twisted cord spiral buttons. Ruching at the shoulders adds texture and some volume. The skirt is a classic high waisted pencil skirt with a waistband, side slit pockets at hips and a zippered closure with hook and eye fasteners. The contrasting, mirrored pieces look amazing as a suit, but can also be worn separately for versatility. Good vintage condition - some small signs of wear throughout. A made in France. Jacket is marked size FR 36 and the skirt is marked FR size 40.
