New wool tuxedos strengthen "formai" aliance between Yves Saint Laurent and' Classy (NC)-This, week Stephen Hecht, president of Classy Formai Wcar, an- nounced the -introduction of two new Yves Saint Laurent tuxedos for this sring The mastcr-dcsigner's latest creatios are the new Peaked-Lapel and Shawl Collar Tuxedos. Accôrding to many formai wear industry experts, the exclusive partnersbip between Classyand Yves Saint Laurent hias set the standard for clqssic formai wear. lndeed, the two fashion leaders have produced some of the most admired tuxedos the world has ever seen. "As with ail his creations," says Hecht, "the new tuxedos illustrate how wonderfully sensitive Yves Saint Laurent is to- true format wcar style. flhc lines are crisp, simple and elegant. Ytou can sec it in the supcrb hand- tailorcd jackets and in the pleated trousers. 0f course, with this kind of 'V<,rld-lass style, yourcallycan't skimp un fabrics-and we haven't. AIl of our ncw Yves Saint Laurent tuxedos are taiiored from pure wool. And believe me, we've scoured the worid's fincst fabric milis for just the right cioth." According to Hecht, who is also president of the International Formai Wear Association, there is no substîtute for wool in fine formai wear. "The Ynatural properties of wool arc unsur- passed. A wool tuxedo looks better the moment you put it on, and it stands up better under pressure, so it stili looks great and feels comfortable well into a long night of celebration. Granted, it does cost us a littie more, but in more than 70 years of business we've learned, that people clearly want something superior for the most important celebra- tions of their lives." The Peaked-Lapel Tuxedo and the ShaWl Collar Tuxedo join the entire Yves Saint Laurent line, which also includes the classic back Notch-Lapel Tuxedo and Tailcoat; The Double Breasted Tuxedo; The Sterling Grey Tuxedo and Tailcoat; The Versailles Grey Tuxedo and Tailcoat; and thc White Shadow-Weave Tuxedo and Tailcoat. Classy Formai Wear is also re- nowned for its European-inspircd Uomo Classico Collection. This ycar's additions are the 'Adorato' and the 'Grande' models, reflecting Europe's formai wear 'fashion trend toward roomier, slightly oversized jackets and deeply pleated trousers. The innovative Uomo Classico Collection now in- cludes eight styles.
