There is nothing about menswear which can be so feminine. Nothing more sophisticated, versatile and suitable for almost any situation as Le Smoking . The suite for excellence consists of a velvet or wool tuxedo that is the interpretation of the ‘black tie‘ (elegant evening dress for man).

After that moment nothing has been the same again and the Universe of women’s fashion, previously upgraded by Miss Coco, was another step towards an idea of women’s emancipation, freedom, but incredibly sensual.
And if we talk about sensuality we can not forget Helmut Newton‘s shoot for Vogue France in 1975. The tuxedo is portrayed in all its pure elegance in the dunsky Parisian alley of Rue Aubriot.

“Le Smoking was a controversial statement of femininity – a sexuality that did not rely on ruffles or exposed skin, but instead smouldered beneath the sharp contours of a perfectly cut jacket and trouser”. –Another Mag

A woman wearing a man’s suit is a woman who wants to ‘flaunt’ her strong personality and her awareness of style.

And nothing prevents it to be white like the one worn by Bianca de Marcias wore when she married Mick Jagegr in St Tropez in ’71 or to be worn buttoned with a lace or sequined bra and a deep V neckline.

The French  ‘Je ne know quoi‘ can not find any better answer than the intriguing and seductive style of this dress declined in many ways.
