Yves Saint Laurent Fall 2006 Mini Dress

A striking gold sequin mini dress from Stefano Pilati’s Fall 2006 collection for Yves Saint Laurent. Presented as Look 27 on the runway, the dress features a bateau neckline, elbow-length sleeves and a sculpted waist finished with an oversized bow. The open back adds an unexpected element to the otherwise structured silhouette.

Pilati described the collection as exploring “powerful clothes women might want to wear,” looking back to the sharp glamour of Saint Laurent in the 1960s and ’70s. This piece perfectly captures that idea, balancing a streamlined silhouette with all-over metallic sequins and distinctly YSL glamour.
