Saint Laurent, Yves. (1936–2008)
"Paris" -Design for a Black Suit
Colored pencil and marker on paper
Striking and fanciful original large-format jacket and skirt suit design in the hand of the French fashion designer regarded as one of the greatest names in fashion history. Accomplished in colored pencil and markers, accentuated with two blue and red lines crossing the drawing, a bold title of "PARIS," and signed at the lower right in red marker. Approx. 18 x 21 inches, archivally framed to 19 x 23 inches. A very rare authentic example, seldom encountered on the market and with extraordinary provenance.
