Yves Saint Laurent is a manifestation of a romanticized Parisian arcadia, in other words, the land of my dreams. My fantasy realm is basically a YSL ad campaign, consisting of clandestine meetings with devastatingly handsome paramour, splashing around in a Veuve-Cliquot filled bathtub at the Hotel de Crillon, and riding a bike along the Seine while wearing a Breton striped shirt and carrying a baguette under my arm. Actually, it would be a Vespa, high heels aren't conducive to bike rides.
This wool crepe dress brings a little bit of my imagination to life with its elegant pleats and unique shape. It is impossible to not look and feel beautiful in this piece because, similarly to Mr. Laurent himself, Stefano Pilati embraces femininity and understands how to accentuate the beauty of the female form.
Oren, a genius at the Yves Saint Laurent store on Madison and 57th Street, explained to me that this dress is part of a capsule collection called Chyc that is comprised of the greatest hits from the past two years. The pieces from the Chyc capsule collection truly reflect the YSL aesthetic and are staples every woman should have.
