Wish List #3...Tuxedo

I almost fell out my chair when I saw Stella McCartney in this Stella McCartney jumpsuit she wore to the 2012 British Fashion Awards in London.  Instantly... I wish!

This; however, will NEVER replace my most coveted wish list item of all time...The white tux by Yves Saint Laurent   


Yves Saint Laurent introduced his first version of Le smoking—a black tuxedo for women—during a presentation of his couture collection on this day in 1966.  It took 30yrs before it was "accepted" by the fashion world.  What took so long?  I couldn't imagine.   

Bianca Jagger- the best that ever did it!  Famed for her white tuxedos
circa 1978 
"For a woman, 'Le Smoking' is an indispensable garment with which she finds herself continually in fashion, because it is about style, not fashion.   Fashions come and go, but style is forever." Yves Saint Laurent
