Description
Model History:
This scarf is an aesthetic continuation of the Mondrian collection launched by Yves Saint Laurent in 1965, which made fashion history by transposing Piet Mondrian’s abstract art into the world of clothing. This emblematic series of dresses influenced many subsequent pieces, including this square, probably edited in the 1990s. It embodies the alliance between haute couture and pictorial modernism, in a textile interpretation full of character.
Details:
The scarf has a strong visual structure, alternating wide vertical and horizontal stripes in an almost architectural arrangement. The deep navy blue background emphasizes the primary and secondary hues, giving the whole a controlled balance. The woven label “Yves Saint Laurent Foulards – Made in France” is affixed to one corner. Dimensions are generous, around 90 x 90 cm, allowing for ample wear.The material is a silk with an embossed texture, bringing visual depth to the motif. The weave creates a subtle relief effect, reinforcing the fabric’s luxurious look. The hand-rolled finish testifies to the expertise of YSL’s ateliers at the time.
Product Condition:
The square is in excellent condition, with no snags, stains or discoloration. The silk retains its original sheen and texture. The rolled seams are intact, and the colors remain bold and luminous.
Care instructions:
Professional dry-cleaning is recommended to preserve color intensity and fabric structure. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct light to prevent pigment fading.
