Yves Saint Laurent's most iconic piece: the tuxedo. This garment, which was meant to be worn in a smoking room to protect one’s clothing from the smell of cigars, was originally reserved only for men.Saint Laurent’s tuxedo, however, was not an exact copy of the men’s tuxedo. He used the same codes but adapted it to the female body. The twin of this classic tuxedo jacket walked the runway in 2007. "For a woman, the tuxedo is an indispensable garment in which she will always feel in style, for it is a stylish garment and a not a fashionable garment. Fashions fade, style is eternal." ~ Yves Saint Laurent * Fall Winter 2007 Ready-to-Wear * Contrast peak lapel * Open front design; at the inside there is a detachable buttoned strap, when used the jacket looks closed * One button at cuffs * Fully lined * Back slit * Size on label reads F36, fits a EUR36 * Length back: 50cm * Condition: pristine condition with minor to no signs of use * This item has been authenticated by our in-house trained professionals.
