His concept of the “emancipated women” appealed to the feminists who desired to be free of rigid gender conformity and express their power and sexuality. In 1966, YSL introduced his Le Smoking tuxedo jacket, one of the first popularized tuxedos made for women. His work was a pioneer for androgynous styles and unisex clothing.

Although not the first tuxedo to be worn by a woman, this piece was one of YSL's most iconic designs and it had a massive impact on the fashion world. Saint Laurent not only put women in the masculine wear, but he also designed the pieces so that they were better shaped for the female body. At the time, the prospect of women wearing menswear was scandalous. YSL, among other designers, greatly contributed to the transformation of gender expression through fashion.media/Le Smoking Tuxedo Jacket.jpgplain2020-09-23T14:01:07-07:00Yves Saint Laurent, “Le Smoking” jacket, 1966.
