Stefano Pilati to Launch First-Ever Unisex Line in February

le-smoking-0112.jpgOh, the Le Smoking. Genius love child of Yves Saint Laurent, a revolution for women all over the world, and beloved by Bianca Jagger, the French house's classic tuxedo suit will forever live on in our hearts and fashion dreams as the pinnacle of boy-meets-girl dressing. And come February, Stefano Pilati will continue the late Laurent's legacy with his first unisex collection. Now the girls can borrow from the boys in the form of sleek midnight-blue suits and jackets, and guys can channel a certain feminine je ne sais quoi in silk shirts and fishnet jumpers (but don't worry, men: when The UK Times' Pip McCormac tried them out, he claimed to have felt "more manly than at any other time in [his] life"). We're loving this move toward androgynous dressing, and if anyone can execute a pair of flawlessly-tailored pants or a drool-worthy blazer, it's Pilati. Pair with a sleek bob, or some guyliner for maximum re-gender-ation.
