As a tribute to the painters he admired, YSL celebrated once again “Le Peintre de la Couleur”, Henri Matisse, with his 1982 Spring-Summer haute couture collection. Our dress is from the ready-to-wear Spring-Summer 1983 collection. This rare runway dress is in line with the same patterns (abstract shape print) and colors of the haute couture model (see picture 20). Very generous with the amount of fabric (probably a mix of silk and cotton), the unlined gathered skirt part of the dress falls beautifully over the body. The side pockets are invisible. Featuring a deep round neckline with a black braid finish (see picture 6), the bust part of the dress is fully lined. Zip closure on the left side. Labelled a French size 36 (US 2-4), it runs a bit small to size.
