The dress in editorial, as worn by Gia...

"Saint Laurent's unforgettable evenings: at every level of dressing he gives a woman every option . . . and something more. Of all the unique, talked-about looks in a talked-about collection, the most memorable, right. His amazing Picasso-inspired evening—a beaded-and-embroidered inset—in pink-and-gold--"copies" exactly a Picasso double-faced/one-eyed profile. The dress, itself, black satin, shaped small and fitted to the waist, gathered and full-skirted over a black taffeta petticoat. And, with a short knee-grazing skirt, perfect black suede pumps. (The invisible evening accessory—his Opium fragrance!) A beautiful neckline, opposite. With a short black velvet dress, ruffles of stiff black net edged in tiny rhinestones, a rhinestone-and-multicolor necklace in between, and dazzling earrings. Symbol of something you always find at Saint Laurent: beyond the headlines, the news, the "fashion"—ways for a woman to look simply wonderful . . . at night . . . anytime!

I remeber reading in Yves's bio. that the Cubism collection was too emotional to Paloma Picasso, she couldn't hold her tears when she saw her father paintings on the Saint Laurent runway ... thank you Jennifer for bringing this up, great pic

^ You're welcome; I love that story... It becomes an honor for Yves as well as the Picassos, to move Paloma that deeply.
