Label Text:Stefano Pilati styled this chic jumpsuit after the motorcycle jacket—an aggressive and “macho” garment that often looks sexy and subversive on a woman. According to Pilati, “the biker jacket is one of the YSL codes I’ve always been intrigued by—one of Saint Laurent’s innovations that still feels modern today.”
