Keywords Fashion - Feminism
The iconic garment that empowered women.

New York, 1967. Yves Saint Laurent and his muse Betty Catroux are denied access to restaurants because Betty is wearing a tux, which is reserved for men. They then embark on a timeless stroll in which they summon figures of fashion, art, feminism, and literature (Christian Dior, Andy Warhol, Marcel Duchamp, etc.) to debate the pros and cons of women wearing trousers. We also discover the secrets behind the making of Le Smoking, and how this iconic piece anticipated the women's emancipation movement.
