Yves Saint Laurent Fall 1991 Runway Slinky Gold Lame Dress trunk-past All of Gene Shelly's dressesThe Shrimpton Couture Archives The twin of this dress was worn on the Yves Saint Laurent runway by supermodel Yasmeen Ghauri.

These gold lame pieces are what defined that season and I am very pleased to have found this example. Especially given its tie in with Yasmeen.
