When Yves Saint Laurent introduced Le Smoking in 1966, he radically revolutionized the codes of women's fashion. At that time, the move was radical because trousers were still frowned upon for women; he dared to transpose an absolute symbol of male power, the tuxedo, onto the female body. The result was immediate : a strong, free, elegant silhouette that no longer sought to seduce, but to assert itself.
Very quickly, influential women adopted this now-iconic garment. Catherine Deneuve and Bianca Jagger, and more recently Zendaya, have made the tuxedo a symbol of independence. They wear it on the red carpet, at parties, and around town, without ever relinquishing their femininity. Quite the contrary: they redefine it.
Wearing it means embracing this lineage: choosing this strong presence, this poise, this posture. It's an avant-garde and profoundly feminist piece, designed for women who don't wait for permission to be remarkable.
A powerful alternative to the evening gown.
Today, the bespoke women's tuxedo stands out as a true alternative to the evening gown. For festive occasions, weddings, galas, black-tie events, and end-of-year celebrations, it offers equally spectacular elegance, but with a more assertive and contemporary look.
Unlike a dress, the tuxedo structures the silhouette, allows for freedom of movement, and commands respect. It accompanies the evening without compromise, from the first glance to the last moment. Wearing a tuxedo is making a choice: that of a distinctive, confident, and timeless style.
Made to measure: uncompromising elegance.
At FERALA Luxembourg, every women's tuxedo is entirely made to measure. Nothing is standardized. Each piece is designed based on the precise measurements, body shape, and demeanor of the wearer.
This ensures an impeccable drape, true comfort, and a flawless visual effect. The tuxedo hugs the silhouette without constricting it, structures the posture, and refines the lines. The result is clean, elegant, and sophisticated. A refined look that is as much felt as seen.
An exceptional fabric: Holland & Sherry Barathea stripes.
The tuxedo worn by Aleksandra is made from an iconic fabric of formal wear: Holland & Sherry's black Barathea stripes. This fabric has historically been used for the most demanding tuxedos and black-tie attire.
It is distinguished by its deep black, its impeccable drape, and its subtle texture, capable of capturing light without ever being excessively shiny. It is a fabric with character, chosen for those seeking authentic, enduring, and understated elegance.
A precise cut and iconic finishes.
The tuxedo's cut features a shawl collar, an emblematic choice for women's tuxedos, which softens the lines while maintaining a strong visual presence. The black satin trim, buttons, and piping, reinforces the garment's ceremonial and sophisticated character.
Every detail is intentional. Nothing is decorative. Everything contributes to the tuxedo's balance, its clarity, and its timeless elegance.
A statement piece, from evening wear to everyday wear.
While the women's tuxedo is naturally associated with formal occasions, it can also be styled with a modern twist. Worn with jeans and a fluid top, it becomes a chic and contemporary everyday statement piece.
Avant-garde yesterday, iconic today, the women's tuxedo remains a cornerstone of the modern wardrobe. A statement piece, designed for women who embrace their style, their presence, and their individuality. With our made to measure women's tuxedos, we champion a clear vision: freedom, innovation, precision, all while blending comfort into it.
