Rare Spring 1964 Cristobal Balenciaga Haute Couture Pale Mint Green Sculpted Silk Taffeta Dress designer-erdem A killer Yves Saint Laurent

A killer Yves Saint Laurent jacket made of a blanket finish wool and detailed with thick wool braiding that was one of his signatures

It is cut very long and falls even longer at the back

and blush pink—punctuated with pops of chartreuse and rich fuchsia

The sleeves are long and I love the pockets that sit on each side at the front with their little tufted edging

There's a small spot on the front of the coat and I photoed that for you
