If you asked me to describe the most perfect outfit, something that had me fantasising since I was 16, it would have to be Le Smoking by Yves Saint Laurent - which most definitely ain't Laurent without Yves - worn without a shirt. Another favourite is the simple white shirt that will reveal just a hint of skin or lace. This subtle sexiness, as practiced by many ladies whose style I admire, is the height of sophistication. Turning basics into visions of femininity, gently subverting masculine sartorial codes - there are many things to learn, a long way to go.
Traduction - Mélanger une allure de garçon manqué avec une pincée de féminité pour obtenir un sex-appeal subtil et élégant.
