An exceptional runway ensemble from Tom Ford’s Spring/Summer 2003 collection for Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche, this avant-garde two-piece set represents one of the most memorable moments in Ford’s legendary tenure at the house. The deconstructed jacket features architectural cage cutouts across the shoulders and back, creating a provocative interplay between exposure and coverage that became a signature of Ford’s sensual design language.
Crafted from gossamer silk in understated nude and taupe tones, the piece showcases Ford’s masterful tailoring with its extended sleeve cuffs and asymmetric hemline. The coordinating skirt features geometric paneling and cascading ruffled details that create dramatic movement. This museum-quality piece was famously worn by Jennifer Lopez and appeared on the YSL SS 2003 runway.
Flat measurements:
Blouse: size S (size tag removed)
Waist 13.5”
Bust 15” (when all buttons are closed)
Skirt: size S (size tag removed)
Waist 12.5”
Hips 16”
The set has some stretch and did fit me (tightly). I left the last two closures open on the top. Here are my measurements for reference: Bust 36”, Waist 27.5”, Hips 38.5”.
A rare collector’s item that embodies the height of Ford’s transformative vision for Yves Saint Laurent, combining refined Parisian elegance with daring sensuality.
