Haute Couture evening dress attributed to Yves Saint Laurent from the 80s. Printed silk crepe (Maison Abraham?) of splash of black paint on a immaculate white background. Astonishing work of pleated drapery from a large medallion in an embroidered diamond set with Swarowski rhinestones, faceted pearls and black and silver tubular beads. Work of pleats at the shoulders and long sleeves tightened at the wrist by a zipper. Side zipper on the left side. Slender and fluid cut as only Mister Saint Laurent knew how to do it. All seam finishes are made by hand. No label. No lining. Note a jet bead missing otherwise clean and flawless. Excellent condition of color and conservation.
