The inspiration:
Sultry, seductive, the safari jacket – saharienne in French - is among Yves Saint Laurent’s most mythical garments. An expression of 1960s freedom. Inspired by Western men in Africa and India, the cotton gabardine piece was first introduced on the couture runway in 1967.
The following year, it gained iconic status in a Vogue shoot with supermodel Verushka in the African savannah. Worn in 1969 by Yves Saint Laurent and his 'twin' Betty Catroux, the saharienne epitomises the couturier’s style.
Since then, the sultry power piece, adapted for urban explorers, has become a recurring motif in the house’s collections. The Saharienne is a testament to Yves Saint Laurent's innovative vision and his ability to create garments that are both stylish and meaningful.
It is a piece that encapsulates the ideal of free adventures with a timeless elegance, solidifying its place as a cornerstone of the YSL legacy. In essence, the Saharienne represents a sultry confidence, an adventurous and effortlessly chic attitude. It's a garment for those who embrace their individuality and seek new experiences.
