French fashion house Saint Laurent was the first couture label to introduce the concept of luxury prêt-à-porter with their Rive Gauche collection, which was presented in 1966. Continuing to build on the brand’s founding ethos of modern femininity, creative director Anthony Vaccarello brings the label into a new age. Crafted in Italy, this black silk Lavallière dress from Saint Laurent features a v-neck with a pussy bow fastening, a concealed rear zip fastening, long sleeves, button cuffs, a polka dot print, a fitted waist, a flared skirt and a short length.
