Vintage Prada Y2K Black Embroidered Butterfly Slingback Heels, Size 41
The edit ·
A pre-owned piece in black, from the Y2K years. Buy the piece, not the promise. Condition, provenance and a maker's mark are worth more than a brand name alone.
The couturier who put women in tuxedos.
Founded in Paris in 1961 by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge. Le Smoking, the women's tuxedo, in 1966, and the Rive Gauche ready-to-wear line changed fashion permanently.
Vintage YSL spans the Rive Gauche era to the Mondrian dress and the Sac de Jour. The 1970s and 1980s pieces are the most collected, and the craftsmanship is superb.
What to look for
Labels tell the era: Yves Saint Laurent, Rive Gauche, then Saint Laurent. Check the lining and the hardware; the older the label, the finer the finish.
How to wear it
Let the piece lead. Build the outfit or the room around it, not the other way round.
