If you missed last night’s YSL cocktail party at Housing Works, there’s still hope.

We’ve unearthed a haven of designer paper dolls onAmazon.com. So if you’re on a mission to avoid depressing in store atmospheres, check out the YSL package at left that includes a Mondrian dress, Le Smoking and an original trapeze dress. What could be more perfect than a gift that lets you pretend to be Rachel Zoe while simultaneously indulging in nostalgia?

Prefer Chanel? They have that, too.

Our favorites, aside from the Schiarparelli, are Great Designs of the 90s and Best Actresses of the 1990s.

Because we’ll never tire of seeing Gwyneth in that Ralph Lauren dress.

It’s not often that an important exhibit skips over New York to San Francisco without so much as a stop on the way back.

But alas, the newly modern, (well, three years ago) DeYoung museum will host the only US presentation of a forty-year retrospective of Yves Saint Laurent’s work.

The exhibition, which opens November 1st, will include 120 accessorized outfits, (including couture), sketches, videos and photographs to show the, “revolutionary nature of his body of work that presents a new definition of femininity”.

Four themes will divide the exhibit: “Pencil Strokes,” in which the chronology of dress making is explored; “The YSL Revolution,” in which you should expect an excess of le smoking; “The Palette,” in which they’ll explore his use of color; and best of all, “Lyrical Sources,” in which they’ll group his work with that of the artists whose influences were constantly seen on his runways, including Mondrian and Braque.

And, if you’re not already booking a ticket to San Francisco, you should know that the museum will host a symposium on opening day with a host of speakers including Hamish Bowles.

It’s almost too good to be true.
