Double-Breasted Wool-Faille Blazer

Saint Laurent’s black double-breasted blazer nods to the androgynous personal style of founder Yves’s artist and muse Niki de Saint Phalle, who inspired him to create suits for women. It’s crafted in Italy from wool faille with commanding padded shoulders and flattering stitched front darts, complete with a silk-twill lining to ensure a smooth drape. Wear it with a printed blouse to draw focus to the sharp peak lapels.

• 100% wool. Lining: 100% silk

One of the most resounding names in fashion, Yves Saint Laurent was the first couture house to introduce the concept of luxury ready to wear. Today, the iconic label is fronted by Anthony Vaccarello, who aims to explore Saint Laurent’s early years through his creations.
