House of Yves Saint Laurent (French, founded 1961)Description
This photograph depicts three mannequins wearing evening dresses.The mannequin at the front is wearing a flower-printed garment made out of a rather stiff fabric to enhance the puffiness of the dress; the skirt is made shorter at the front than behind. On the left is another dress following a similar skirt pattern although is it much more simple, V-neck and button-down like a long blouse. Finally, the one on the rifht is hardly visible but seems to feature a full-length skirt and a rounded open back.
All of them are heavily accessorized with gloves, necklaces with numerous rows of pearls or stones, earrings and hairpieces.
