A goldmine of vintage Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche

In my mind, nothing signifies horny, rich, and lazy quite like vintage Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche. The designer launched “Yves Saint Lauren Rive Gauche” in 1966 as ready-to-wear, in contrast to the existing Yves Saint Laurent Couture. The clothes themselves were slinky, tactile, slim - looking at vintage it’s kind of a stripped back bohemianism, but mega sophisticated, and super-urban - and an artful blend of masculine and feminine. And who could forget Le Smoking! The first tuxedo for women.
