Stripes and forms on blue silk.
From the Mondrian dresses of 1965 onward, Yves Saint Laurent drew on modern art, including Pop Art and Picasso. Abstract geometry remained part of the house's vocabulary.
By the 1980s the house founded in 1961 by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé had expanded from couture into ready-to-wear, launched as Rive Gauche in 1966, and into accessories.
The stripes give direction to the abstract forms, and the blue ground holds the composition together. Wear is minimal.
Direction given by stripes.
Vintage Yves Saint Laurent silk scarves continue to attract collectors of the house. This square shows its graphic side in the 1980s.

Saint Laurent's use of modern art in fashion is a recognised part of his legacy.
