Nan Kempner told W Magazine, "There is no question that Yves Saint Laurent is my favorite designer. I am tall and on the smaller side, so clothes can overpower me. But Yves understands my kind of body. Actually, he designs for someone who is built like him." Its opulent romanticism, however, recharged the enervated world of haute couture. As was often the case with Saint Laurent, this seminal collection anticipated the historicizing extravagance of the 1980s by almost a decade
