Saint Laurent Cassandre-Chain Backless Dress in Knit
Saint Laurent Cassandre-Chain Backless Dress in Knit: an authentic Saint Laurent dress in Noir, from the Fall Winter 2026 collection. Saint Laurent ready-to-wear is cut in Paris on a long, lean line: a strong shoulder, a narrow waist and a lot of black, with sheer lace, silk and leather where other houses would add colour. Coveti verifies every piece before it ships.
Semi-sheer backless maxi dress featuring spaghetti straps with Cassandre chain details at the back. It is finished with scoop neckline.

About Saint Laurent
Saint Laurent is the Paris house Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé founded in 1961, and it showed its first couture collection on 29 January 1962. The interlocking YSL monogram, the Cassandre, was drawn for the house by the poster artist A. M. Cassandre in 1961. In 1966 Yves Saint Laurent put women in Le Smoking, the first tuxedo cut for a woman, and opened Saint Laurent Rive Gauche, the ready-to-wear boutique on the Left Bank. The house has been part of Gucci Group, now Kering, since 1999, and Anthony Vaccarello has been its creative director since 2016. The tuxedo, the sharp shoulder, sheer black lace, the stiletto and the Cassandre are still the codes he works with.
“Keep the accessories quiet. The dress is the look.”
