1970s Yves Saint Laurent Jacket

Sometimes I look at early YSL and I am flooded with emotion. This little beauty just fills me with joy! The lovely silk is printed with little hearts arranged in the shape of 4 leaf clovers. Each little heart has stripes and spots in shades of mustard and teal. It is subtle, but so much fun. The silk is quilted in a lattice pattern, with a very light, nearly intangible batting between the outer fabric and silk lining. The wide black trim is also quilted, with a bit more batting and a long tubular pattern. The shiny, black, half dome buttons add the perfect accent.
The jacket is a classic YSL style, with a slight A-line to the hem and wide sleeves that taper slightly to the wrist. Two side pockets complete the wonderfulness. It is rich and structured. A magnificent creation.
