Vintage Yves Saint Laurent Bright Blue Dress c. 2000s XS

A saturated cobalt blue gives this Yves Saint Laurent dress its unmistakable presence, the pure colour radiating against the skin in a single, clean sweep. The silhouette is defined by a gently scooped neckline, slim tailored bodice and precise shoulder seams, falling into a long, fluid skirt that grazes the ankle. This piece belongs to the transitional era of Saint Laurent’s late 1990s to early 2000s ready-to-wear, a period marked by pared-back elegance and architectural lines under the atelier’s Paris direction. No visible logos or hardware distract from the house's meticulous construction—every seam and angle is an ode to Yves Saint Laurent's foundational belief in modern, wearable art. Founded in 1961, Saint Laurent revolutionised women's fashion with a balance of bold colour and refined simplicity, championing the power of line and shade over ornament. The estimated size is approximately XS, based on garment measurements; the dress offers a close fit at the chest and shoulder. Condition is very good, with minimal signs of wear and the original shape and vibrancy fully retained. The mannequin normally wears a size M.
