Una de las piezas más espectaculares de la colección de alta costura de otoño/invierno 1983–1984 del modisto Yves Saint Laurent es este abrigo, que cubre un vestido negro de línea sobria y elegante. En referencia directa a los voluminosos abrigos de noche de la gloriosa época de la alta costura posterior a la Segunda Guerra Mundial, esta versión realizada en gruesa falla de seda combina el suntuoso romanticismo de Christian Dior con el dramatismo escultórico de Cristóbal Balenciaga. El cuello al bies puede cerrarse con un lazo o bien descubrir los hombros y la parte superior de la espalda. Así es como prefería llevarlo su dueña, Nan Kempner, repetidamente elegida para figurar en la lista de mujeres mejor vestidas del mundo.
