Introducing a complete one-of-a-kind, unique and structured 1980s scarlet red blazer in the manner of Yves Saint Laurent
This tailored wool blazer from the 1980s captures the bold sophistication that defined the era’s power dressing, clearly reflecting the influence of Yves Saint Laurent’s Rive Gauche tailoring. Constructed in a striking scarlet red wool, the jacket is cut in a longline silhouette with strong shoulder definition and a tapered waist, creating a refined, architectural shape.
The standout feature is the exaggerated black velvet shawl collar, complemented by coordinating velvet-covered buttons running down the front and accenting the sleeves. Faux pocket flaps are finished in the same plush black velvet and embroidered with tonal swirling detail, lending subtle depth and texture to the overall composition. Fully lined and structured throughout, the jacket is medium-weight and ideal for autumn/winter layering.
Two small blemishes are present on the the sleeve fabric and the shoulder, visible only under close inspection and do not detract from the overall integrity of the piece.
