YVES SAINT LAURENT
Sample for the "Van Gogh" jackets from the Spring/Summer
1988 Haute couture

Last night I discovered :
November 2019
‘A gorgeously embroidered Yves Saint Laurent jacket, which was inspired by Vincent van Gogh’s “Sunflowers”, was sold at a Christie’s auction in Paris yesterday for 382,000 euros (S$574,000) — a new record for a garment from the celebrated French designer’.
