This is that legacy, cut for a new era. From Anthony Vaccarello’s debut year as creative director — his first Spring/Summer collection, 2017 — this single-breasted smoking honors the original in the house’s signature grain de poudre: a dry, powder-fine wool that holds a razor lapel like nothing else. Satin peak lapels. A single satin-covered button. Five satin buttons marching down each cuff. The shoulders are sharp, the waist subtly shaped — masculine tailoring translated into something unmistakably feminine.
New with tags, never worn. A jacket like this doesn’t follow occasions; it creates them. Thrown over bare skin, layered above denim, closed over nothing but good jewelry — this is the piece the archive keeps returning to, because it never once needed updating.
FR 36 (US 2–4). Grain de poudre virgin wool with satin trim. Original Saint Laurent tags attached.
