Yves Saint
Laurent
Saint Laurent again
scores a smashing
success with his creative
fall collection. His color
combinations are bright
juxtapositions of orange
and red, of green and
blue. Especially colorful
are his Oriental-inspired
evening clothes: the
slender skirts are made
of gleaming, sumptuous
metallic brocade, worn
with brightly colored
cashmere sweaters.
Saint Laurent takes an
entirely different tack
with an all-black
segment that features
short crepe dresses for
day or evening; wool
dresses draped to one
side; and full, swirling
satin capes. Black capes
are also shown with
side-buttoned shirts and
trousers in colors like
soft orange,
butterscotch and moss
green.
Only a designer as
creative as Saint
Laurent could pull
off this evening look
— colorful but
clashing brocade
skirt and cashmere
sweater.
