Sometimes the most elegant or romantic of evenings happen by surprise. We suggest a night in with a glass of wine, a cozy blanket and Pierre Thoretton’s, L’amour fou. A documentary on the life of iconic fashion designer, Yves Saint Laurent. This film is effortlessly romantic and beautifully narrated by life long romantic / business partner Pierre Berge. It should do nothing less than help you to remember your inner hopeless romantic and ultimate appreciator of haute couture.
Watching Yves struggle with politics, drug and alcohol abuse, and his inner demons, gives you an emotional insight to the artistic vison he sought out for women around the world.
We were so inspired by the story of Yves’ life, that we decided to pull our favourite YSL looks and incorporate a few spring trends into the mix.

Bold brights are everywhere for spring. We love the girly look of a classic DVF wrap top paired with an edgy bottom. Robert Rodriguez black cigarette pant takes it to the next level. Leather detailing of the pants and croc texture of the YSL bag make a major statement, while metallic gold YSL pumps complete the look.
When shopping for any seasonal change, it is important to balance an influx of fashion pieces along with investment pieces. Classic style and elegance radiate naturally through with a beige YSL trench. Animal print detail is a fun way to add some personality, so we’ve rolled up the sleeves of the trench and continued the look with YSL animal print pumps. Divine Cartier black alligator tote tied with vintage YSL scarf are amazing additions to your wardrobe for the long haul.
Sorbet hues and sequins are a wonderful way to freshen up your spring wardrobe. The tones of the top are complimented beautifully with a grey YSL jacket. Keeping with traditional YSL style, the structure of the lapels add an ambiguos touch. To finish off, a playful pop of colour with purple YSL chunky wooden sandals.
