Six Archival Jackets. One Pair of Jeans.

Six jackets, from 1988 to 2013. One pair of vintage Yves Saint Laurent jeans.

Marie Jedig wore Chanel and Saint Laurent through the streets of Copenhagen, photographed by Peter Irgens. The denim stays. The jacket changes, and the mood changes with it.

Each look sits beside its runway or collection reference. That is half the interest of vintage: seeing how a piece was first shown, then working out where it belongs now.

 

Chanel — Cruise 1991

Pink, cropped, neatly cut. In the collection reference, it’s shown with a matching skirt. With blue denim, it feels more relaxed.

A pink Bottega Veneta clutch carries the colour through. Vintage Hermès red suede shoes warm it up.

 

 

Chanel — Autumn/Winter 2002

 

Black, edged in gold. The trim traces the jacket’s lines: front, hem, cuffs. Plain denim lets those details stand out.

An antique beaded necklace adds texture. A Rafael Sanchez bag and the red shoes add colour. These are pieces from different decades, worn as one outfit.

 

 

Yves Saint Laurent — 1988

 

Blue and green, blocked and outlined in dark lines. It’s the most graphic jacket in the edit. The runway reference shows how its shape and colour worked within a complete look.

Marie wears it open, with jeans, a pink YSL bag and the red shoes. The denim keeps it grounded.

 

 

Yves Saint Laurent — Autumn/Winter 1997

 

Brown, and quieter. The eye goes to the cut and the detailing.

It settles easily into a different wardrobe. The look is jeans, a Ferragamo Tassel bag, Dior sunglasses and the red Hermès shoes. The jacket carries the outfit.

 

Yves Saint Laurent — Autumn/Winter 1990

 

Yellow velvet. In the Copenhagen sunlight, the pile catches the light, bringing out the depth of the colour.

The collection image shows where it began. The street photograph puts it into an ordinary afternoon.

It’s worn with denim, the red Hermès shoes and a sculptural Timmy Woods bag. Colour, texture, a little wit.

 

 

Saint Laurent — Autumn/Winter 2013

Hedi Slimane

The black Curtis jacket closes the edit, twenty-five years after the colour-block piece. Its lean silhouette and textured surface give the same jeans a different attitude.

A YSL Tom Ford bag and the red Hermès shoes complete the look.

 

A vintage piece chosen for its cut, colour or character doesn’t need a new wardrobe. It joins the one you already have.
