This is a gorgeous purple print Yves Saint Laurent jacket whose fabric has a fabulous top stitch, quilted detailing that has been done with a gold metallic thread. The gold has been done in a diamond shaped pattern over the entire jacket so that it has a subtle glimmer. The cut is beautiful. The shoulders have a touch of padding in them and the sleeves are slightly capped at the top and are cut to narrow in as they reach the wrist. The waist is seamed and there is a slight peplum under that seam that glides over the top of the hips. You can exaggerate this flared hip even more by adding a belt.  The print is a mix of purple and blues. It is finished with flat gold toned buttons that run down the front and tie in with the gold top stitching. A stunning Yves Saint Laurent piece. A version in a different colour was featured in the ad campaign that year.  Excellent condition

Fully lined in a purple silk and closes at the front with the buttons as shown. It looks to have never been worn or worn very little. Still has its extra button sewn inside. Tagged a vintage YSL 44
