  • Story Text: Yves Saint Laurent ended the French autumn-winter ready-to-wear season in Paris on March 23 with a new slant on tuxedo suits and geometric hats. But it was a fairly sober and classical occasion. Except for the sharp-edged hats, there were few unusual accessories. Skirts were short, about three to five inches above the knee, and the colours were mostly muted and refined. Some observers though the show represented the best Saint Laurent ready-to-wear clothes in many seasons. There were dramatic full-length cashmere capes, whip-stitched suede suits and skirts were unusually narrow and wrapped at the back. For evening wear, Saint Laurent favoured black velvet, decorated with crystal drops almost straight from chandeliers.
