The Bowes Museum and the Fondation Pierre Berge are collaborating to create Yves Saint Laurent: Style is Eternal exhibition, which will be presenting a major display of the French fashion designer’s work and life. The YSL show will highlight the defining elements of his vision, and the significant influence it has had on fashion and the way we understand women’s fashion today.
But one of the most revolutionary womenswear items Saint Laurent has ever created is the ‘iconic’ smoking jacket. In collaboration with Farfetch and their Saint Laurent selection, I created my personal interpretation of how a modern-day woman can wear this chic jacket, in a “seasonless” way, always matching her auntentic style. I chose a silk boho top, a pair of classical denim trousers and bold, but timeless accessories (like the Sac du Jour bag) to make her outfit with the smoking jacket be a classical ensemble she can wear season after season. The blue wide brim hat brings the total outfit an individual touch, just like the lipstick pin.
Thank you Farfetch for inviting me to take part in this competition together with other fashion bloggers!
