Saint Laurent introduced his seminal “Ballet Russes” collection in 1976, melding Russian-inspired folklore and fantasy to create lavish yet wearable clothes and accessories, such as this fur-trimmed hat. This collection was one of Saint Laurent’s most acclaimed, and it re-established the significance of the haute couture.
