A BLACK SAFARI JACKET

The safari-style jacket is one of Yves Saint Laurent’s more iconic and influential designs, initially created as a one-off design for a Vogue Paris editorial. Inspired by the male uniforms of the Afrika Korps, the jacket embodies fashion ideals of the late sixties with its short hem, daringly low neckline and non-western reference. Menswear as womenswear was a revolutionary lens for seductive dressing at the time, making this jacket an iconic reference point in modern fashion.
