A suit doesn't have to look stuffy, and when it's worn by a woman like in Smoking! by Terry Tsiolis, there are ample opportunities to give the smart ensemble a little bit of sexy flair.
The May 2011 issue of Vogue Paris spices up black tie dress with form-fitting tuxedo trousers, slim structured blazers and unbuttoned blouses. Unconcealed camisoles, edgy layers, outlandish hats and feminine accessories make the looks worn by Karmen Pedaru seem definite possibilities for the next gala. Stylist Geraldine Saglio has combined some of the most slick and sophisticated garments from BCBG Max Azria, Yves Saint Laurent, Charvet and Thomas Wylde. This has given Smoking! by Terry Tsiolis grounds for dapper dress, with the added panache of playful accessorizing.
