The New Saint Laurent Icarino Bag

Front and center in the Chris Colls photoshoot is the new Saint Laurent Icarino bag. The perfectly slouchy boho bag in quilted suede or nappa leather is on the arm of Bella Hadid, Hailey Bieber, Zoe Kravitz and more. Fans share a common sentiment about the bag, calling the Icarino ‘Small but Mighty’.

Le Smoking’s Embrace by Young Women

While Yves Saint Laurent was not the first designer to put women in a male-identified suit, Le Smoking was the first tuxedo specifically designed for women. In fact, the Parisian Yves Saint Laurent maison was financially prosperous in 1966, even though the initial Le Smoking dive into androgyny was a commercial flop. Exactly one suit was sold.

Introducing Le Smoking to Saint Laurent’s new Rive Gauche boutique, where younger women could afford it, was a great success. Gender fluidity became a design vibe cornerstone that confident women have worn for the many decades after 1966.
