The Knit Bridal Gown
Related to Fashion
Presented in the same collection as the Homage to Mondrian dresses, the knit bridal gown closed that season’s runway show. It was the tradition to end a show with a bridal look. That year, Yves Saint Laurent looked to Russia, specifically matryochka nesting dolls. He borrowed the same shape for his hand-knit wool design with ivory silk satin ribbons, out of which peeked only the model’s radiant face.
