I recently read about YSL’s rebellious and iconic style, 'Le Smoking'.
The feminist in me was totally intrigued by the entire story and thought it was quite fascinating.
In August 1966, Yves St Laurent shocked everyone with what was one of the most influential and iconic designs in 20th century fashion history.
Le Smoking was the first tuxedo for women.
It consisted of a classic dinner jacket in black satin and trousers with a satin side-stripe with a ruffled white shirt, black bow tie and a wide cummerbund of satin.
Back then it was still controversial for women to wear trousers in Public.
So considering that, the ’Le Smoking’ suit was a very bold move.
And pitching this look like as an evening wear alternative to little black dress
came as a cultural shock to many.
So, dressing in this tuxedo declared the wearer bold, daring,
on the cutting of fashion and also a feminist, and someone who wanted to break the shackles of existing discomfort and rebelling against the pre defined old rules.
Their ideology being, "If men can wear this, why can’t I?"
And as you know trousers went on and became huge
and now a must have in every woman’s wardrobe!
I believe style is a result of various factors.
It’s one’s personal experience,
how one feels when they are wearing something,
what it stands for and how they have evolved.
Just like ‘Le Smoking’ had its reasons, most styles or even individual styles reflect more than just a color or a fabric.
And in this world of Fast Fashion and so many Apps,
I came across Adoro and their campaign ‘Le Adoring’
which is a modern take on Le Smoking, where everything is about your personal style,
and I also got a chance to connect with the creators of the App too.
