THIS spring/summer 2011, the four fashion capitals returned to the Seventies to bring luxuriant glamour back into our wardrobes.  Created with sultry summer evenings in mind, this season’s catwalk offerings share the Moroccan infusion that enkindled Yves Saint Laurent’s most iconic shows.  Inspired by his palatial Majorelle Gardens in Marrakesh, his Seventies collections produced holiday wear that balanced elegance with decadence.  To capture this luxe look in your own holiday wardrobe, start at Gucci, where silk jumpsuits were overlaid with leather tassel belts and copious fringing in a rich palette brought dresses to life.
