After the initial introduction of the tuxedo suit in the sixties Yves made a version of the famous Tuxedo suit every season. This version of that classic and iconic look has a wonderful cut and still feels infinitely wearable now. Made of a fine black wool that is easy to wear and feel very comfortable on, it has the most classic lines and is easily recognizable as YSL design. The skirt is a classic simple cut to the knee with a pencil skirt cut that has the slightest suggestion of widening as it nears the hem and softly gathers in at the waist line. The jacket is pure Yves with a matte silk satin lapel cut to mimic a man's tuxedo. In this version it closes with two glittering rhinestone encrusted buttons that sit low at the front. Two of these same buttons also adorn each cuff. The jacket curves past the hip and is cut more boxed then fitted, giving it a wonderful shape that balances the cut and length of the skirt. Strong shoulders are the perfect finish. Excellent condition and appears unworn
Both pieces are lined in a fine back silk. The jacket buttons to close and the skirt has a back zipper and flat hook and eye at the waist. Two buttons on each cuff and the button holes are functional. Pockets on each side of the jacket that are functional. The jacket is tagged a vintage YSL 38 and the skirt a 40. Please check actual measurements.
