"Yves Saint Laurent" Late 80s silk bow tie blouse

Yves Saint Laurent, which has led the era by revolutionizing mode while skillfully incorporating refined elegance into its attire, presents a superb piece featuring the brand’s aesthetic symbolized by the bow tie design.

Based on the supple silk’s drape, the long-designed tie detail around the neck adds a quiet elegance, making this a piece that subtly conceals sensuality within its minimal presence.

First, the material is said to be 100% silk, with a touch that slides smoothly on the skin and a drape that creates shadows with movement. Its weighty fall, unlike lightweight modern silk, reflects the archive’s characteristic dignity. Furthermore, the front is arranged to look clean, close to a fly front, so the vertical lines of the tie become the core of styling, whether worn under a jacket or as a single piece, preventing the appearance from becoming cluttered.

The necktie is designed to change impression depending on how it is tied. Tying it neatly as a ribbon enhances a couture-like mood, while letting it hang creates a handsome allure reminiscent of smoking style innerwear. Additionally, delicate gathers from the shoulders to the body are carefully sewn, expressing a rich volume typical of the late 1980s in an elegant way, while the silk’s drape prevents excessive assertion, creating a beautiful balance.

The sleeves are designed to naturally converge toward the wrists, with pearl-like buttons on the cuffs, subtly adding shine to the hands, which tend to attract attention, while modestly elevating the dress element. Additionally, the back features gathers below the yoke, ensuring a range of motion while creating a soft three-dimensional effect on the back, resulting in a look that surpasses a simple blouse.

Regarding the basis for positioning this piece as an archive from the late 1980s, the manufacturing number D-TK9026 printed on the quality label functions as a registration code for ALPHA CUBIC, which handled domestic licensing and import sales at the time. Additionally, the woven label with "Yves Saint Laurent PARIS" embroidered in orange on a brown or gold background is a logo protocol seen from the 1980s to early 1990s. Furthermore, the product number is still in an analog printing style, supporting the reliability of the era identification in multiple layers. Moreover, the "MADE IN ITALY" label can also be confirmed, indicating that the material quality and craftsmanship are consistent, making its collectible value more apparent.

This piece elevates the symbolic bow tie with the shadows of silk and the precision of tailoring into an adult presence. It is especially recommended for those seeking a soft yet core-oriented outfit, and it is also ideal for those who want to build elegance regardless of gender.

Styling-wise, it leaves a refined impression while tightening the overall look by slipping it under tailored jackets or neat coats, with vertical stripes from Thailand. When paired with minimalistic slacks or flowing long bottoms, it creates a mode of tension without excessive decoration. For the feet, pairing with leather shoes quietly completes the look, making it a superb piece that naturally connects the smoking aesthetic advocated by Saint Laurent to a modern wardrobe.

Definitely take this opportunity.
