Yves Saint Laurent introduced his most iconic look in Autumn/Winter 1966 - Le Smoking.
Originally only reserved for men, Yves Saint Laurent took the codes of the tuxedo but adapted it to the female silhouette and included tuxedos in every of his collections until 2002. Each creative director since has found endless inspiration in this revolutionary house code.
Stefano Pilati was hired by Tom Ford for Yves Saint Laurent as a design director and he made his debut as head of ready to wear for Yves Saint Laurent in 2005. His style for Yves Saint Laurent was decidedly more french and Pilati created many trademark items for Yves Saint Laurent - most notably the wardrobe staple tulip skirt and the best seller YSL muse bag. This 2007 collection was one of his most celebrated with many of the looks appearing in editorials and on the red carpet.
