Le Smoking

Le Smoking is a fashionable tuxedo suit designed for women, created by the French designer Yves Saint Laurent in 1966. It challenged traditional gender norms by introducing a sleek, tailored look traditionally associated with men's formalwear into women's fashion. The suit typically features a tailored blazer, trousers, and a satin or silk lapel, offering a sophisticated and modern alternative to dresses for formal occasions. Le Smoking became iconic for its elegance, empowerment, and breaking of conventional style boundaries, making it a symbol of women's liberation and chic confidence in fashion.
