The Yves Saint Laurent Revolution: The Story of “Le Smoking”.

This graphic novel explores the history and cultural significance of Yves Saint Laurent's Le Smoking women's tuxedo through a fictional encounter between designer Yves Saint Laurent and model Betty Catroux. As they navigate a city where Betty's suit is deemed inappropriate for a woman, their conversations with iconic fashion figures address the gendered nature of clothing, including historical garments like priests' robes and Scottish kilts. The narrative combines personal friendship with broader reflections on fashion and gender, illustrated in a style inspired by midcentury couture artists.
