1970s Yves Saint Laurent Leather Peasant Hat

one of the earliest peasant collections Yves Saint Laurent is truly a renaissance designer but his peasant collections stand out as one of the most representative styles comprising his entire body of work. Quilted jacket in Provencal florals that fastened with rows of tiny domed buttons and webbed loops. Full dirndls in Ikat weaves to pair with velvet jackets and shirts that tied at the neck. Taffeta peasant blouses that went with knickers or satin skirts with asymmetrical hems and a select handful of beautiful hats that echoed the gypsy theme. Cinnamon leather backed in fine cinnamon wool jersey is really an open ended cap that hangs at the back of the head. Very much influenced by the styles of ancient Egypt, this is nothing but Yves Saint Laurent and even the most green of vintage students could guess it belonged to him. Flat bow low on the forehead and lined in silk crepe, it is a size 6 5/8 and in excellent condition. $310.00
