The iconic Yves Saint Laurent ‘Le Smoking’
tuxedo was era defining. It allowed the
trouser suit to become synonymous with
empowerment. Popular patrons of the piece,
Annie Lennox, Patti Smith and more recently
Vogue Paris editor Emmanuelle Alt are all
women who you wouldn’t want to mess with
but you may certainly want to look like them –
they are truly the fashion elite. |

The chicest way to wear a trouser suit has
always been with nothing underneath,
see Stella McCartney and Calvin Klein
Collection for spring. Daring to bare is
not always appropriate – fortunately some
of the most up-to-date takes on the look
cover up without losing that sense of
rebellion or feminine allure. |

Acne’s discreet 3 piece nod to
de-construction is less working girl and
more thinking girl, whilst Hedi Slimane
at Saint Laurent looked no further than his
iconic predecessor to create a black suit,
white shirt and frothy neck-tie concoction
exuding Parisian chic. |

Women never tire of the trouser
suit, and S/S 13 takes it back to its
very essence. The crisp details, the
immaculate tailoring… crucially, that
unique sense of confidence it inspires. |
