Vintage Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche Silk Smoking Jacket – Sculpted Tailoring, c. Late 1980s / Early 1990s
Best suited to a modern Size UK 8-10. Please see measurements in description.
A striking example of vintage Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche tailoring, this silk smoking jacket reflects the powerful, feminine silhouettes that defined Saint Laurent’s work in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Launched in 1966, the Rive Gauche line was revolutionary in bringing couture-level design to ready-to-wear. Named after Paris’ bohemian Left Bank - long associated with artists, writers and creative rebellion - it embodied a more relaxed, intellectual spirit of Parisian style while retaining the impeccable tailoring of the house.
Created with luminous red silk, this piece is cut with Saint Laurent’s signature sculptural structure: strong shoulders, a softly shaped bust and a sharply defined waist that creates a dramatic hourglass silhouette! The design draws inspiration from the house’s iconic ''Le Smoking” tailoring, reinterpreting classic menswear codes in a bold, glamorous silk fabrication. Gold-tone buttons and full lining complete the piece, allowing the jacket to hold its architectural, iconic shape while remaining fluid and elegant when worn.
Condition
Very good vintage condition. There is a small area where the silk dye has lightened slightly due to previous cleaning, visible in the photographs. Because of the natural sheen and movement of the silk, this is far less noticeable when worn. The price reflects this imperfection. It would be possible to spot-restore the jacket for a near perfect finish.
Comparable Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche silk jackets in flawless condition often retail for £750 or more.
