Description:  A striking Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche skirt suit from 1988, rendered in brilliant emerald-green satin with a luminous, light-catching finish. The ensemble pairs an oversized, softly tailored jacket with a sleek pencil skirt, capturing the bold proportions and vibrant color palette that defined late-1980s power dressing. The jacket features broad notched lapels, concealed front closure, dropped shoulders, and voluminous bishop sleeves gathered into wide cuffs, creating a dramatic silhouette softened by the fluid drape of the satin. Large angled patch pockets add architectural interest and practical detail. The coordinating high-waisted pencil skirt falls just below the knee and is accented with sculptural folded pocket details at the hips, lending subtle dimension to its otherwise streamlined shape. Together, the pieces balance masculine tailoring with feminine elegance, showcasing Yves Saint Laurent's mastery of proportion, color, and luxurious fabrication. A quintessential late-1980s statement suit that embodies both sophistication and confident glamour.

Condition: Gently Worn with minuscule rubs on the satin
