Saint Laurent Purple Crushed Velvet Plunge Wrap Dress YSL Runway, 1985 1990's the Italian fashion houseThe 1980s and Yves Saint Laurent are an iconic pair. Capturing the 80s culture, YSL had a talent for designing for the everyday woman but also making sure that she stood out whether it be by a carefully crafted accessory or a simple pop of color. From his Fall Winter 1985 collection, this YSL maxi wrap dress is done in a vivacious amethyst pane velvet. The silhouette combined with the luxurious velvet fabric give this dress a regal historical vibe.
