The Heart is one of the most emblematic jewels in the history of Yves Saint Laurent.
Created in the 60s and 70s to adorn the wedding dresses of its Haute Couture shows, it has become a true symbol of the house.
In the 90s, the model is reissued in Haute Couture pieces signed 'YVES SAINT LAURENT'. This mention is essential:Q
it differs from the modernist typography adopted later by Hedi Slimane ('SAINT LAURENT PARIS'),
she situates the piece in the golden age of the couturier, before the redesign of the visual identity of the house.
Made in very few copies, this spectacular brooch embodies all the know-how of the workshops:
rich and meticulous settings,
deep red cabochons and contrasting pearl,
hanging drop that signs the model,
unique sparkle of rhinestones and crystals.
In 2012, Hedi Slimane will choose to reintroduce this Heart in his first show, confirming its status as a centerpiece and iconic.
👉 A rare and sought-after brooch, a true heritage testimony of the historic YVES SAINT LAURENT, before the "Saint Laurent Paris" era.
