Gorgeous Fall 1986 Yves Saint Laurent Runway Plunge Silk Velvet Leopard Dress designer-roland-mouret There is space left betweenThis remarkable dress is the twin of the one that walked the runway for the Fall 1986 Rive Gauche collection by Yves Saint Laurent.

He did several variations of this look for that season and this deep brown velvet with its leopard print within the velvet is one of my favourites. I am obsessed with his work and this one is so well known,
