YSL 2011


One of my favourite dresses has to be Yves Saint Laurent take on the artist Piet Mondrian inspired grid dress. Created in 1965, this iconic dress took the fashion world by storm by endless reproductions and apperances on front covers of fashion magazines such as Vouge. It's use of simple colours and shiloete is what attracts me to this dress which can still be worn today. I always wondered what kind of alterrations would take place if back on the runway, would the dress be more fitted, sleeves added, dress would be shorter, who knows. For now, I can show you sweetdesignstudio's take on it, enjoy!!
