YVES SAINT LAURENT - Tres Vintage


Julianne Margulies looking stunning on the red carpet at the 2011 Golden Globes Awards. She is wearing a vintage Yves Saint Laurent Haute Couture gown from the spring summer collection of 1985. It is a beautiful contrasting silk crepe with a soft drape of the skirt into a bow on the left waist for a subtle yet truly Parisian take on the feminine form.

FROCKOLOGY Style Tip:
Always remember that posture is the make or break accessorie to any look. Stand tall and you will always be a stand out. Slump and you will always look at least 10lbs. heavier then you really are, so stand tall!

Yves Saint Laurent is the most important designer of the late 20th Century. His genius change the face of fashion on more then one occasion. Taking inspiration from the youth in the streets who at the time were wearing old military jackets to show their non conformity to fashion, creates an iconic piece of fashion history. The pea coat shows up many times through out his design life, always looking fresh, crisp and modern.

Frockology Style Tip:
Choose iconic fashion pieces for your style investments as they will always look modern no matter the year they were created. It is your quick fads that age and fade quickly. Lesson learned always invest in style never fashion.

Frockology Style Tip:
When working with a long scarf or shawl try not to just wrap it around your throat, give it a personality of its own and let it say something about itself as well as you.
