The tailored jacket.

I've been obsessed with the timelessness and refinement of Yves Saint Laurent's designs ever since I became conscious of fashion and couture (in the fourth grade!). This kind of tailored jacket, with its strong shoulder line that ascends into the neck, is such a simple piece that endows the wearer with both power and femininity. Of course, I can't always find or afford a Yves Saint Laurent jacket such as the one Naomi Campbell is wearing, but whenever I search for a perfect suit jacket or a blazer, I always think of YSL.
