Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche RTW Chemisier Blanc

The Yves Saint Laurent take on the t-shirt has elevated the otherwise commonplace garment to a thing of timeless RTW lore.  The classically-tailored tee (no peculiar proportions or odd cuts), employs the finest and most exquisite white cotton, as the base.  True, this shirt is available in other color combinations, if one feels so inclined, but I selected what I consider to be the most representative of  Monsieur Yves Saint Laurent's own aesthetic: black and white.

What elevates this shirt to a classic, is its daring, yet sophisticated use of Yves Saint Laurent's initials, in the common short form default logo of the brand, YSL.  The just-right-sized (smaller and the it would look feminine, larger and it would look vulgarly ostentatious) initials are placed in the center of the shirt.  The final touch was to make the initials out of black velvet.
