1990s
France
A striking statement skirt from Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche, crafted from plush black velvet and finished with intricate hand-worked macramé lace that releases into long, sculptural fringe. The layered construction creates rich movement and depth, while the interplay of velvet, lace, and fringe gives the piece a dramatic, fluid silhouette. Sensual and opulent, the design reflects late-1990s Saint Laurent’s approach to craftsmanship, material richness, and bold tactile detail.
