Gown Study | Yves Saint Laurent

Given a sketch from YSL’s 80’s archive, I was allowed to interprete it into a layered confection of gathered tulle below a fitted bodice, keeping true to the original silhouette while exploring other techniques of creating volume

Original Sketch:
​Soir Long 1984

Constructed in calico & tulle

Technical drawings by hand ; extracted from YSL archives
