  1. Wonderful! Looks very cozy for a snow woman...I'd love to see her walk!

  2. Wow, that is quite an outfit. Very 60s...although I would equate her more with a q-tip than a snow woman!

  3. To me, this is a rare mis-step by YSL. I know it is intended only as as visual exercise, but still. . .

  4. it is quite an out fit, as John says intended as a visual exercise, I know it surprised the crowd of fashion goers at the time. Knowing it was all crocheted makes me realize -how extraordinary.

  5. Unfortunately I do agree with John T. I can really appreciate the workmanship in the garment having been crocheted. I think that YSL was feeling a bit of pressure by other designers such as Cardin and Rabbane who were pushing the envelope
