Like Saint Laurent, Courrèges was an early proponent of women wearing pants for nearly any occasion. This ensemble’s tunic-style top bears the distinctive welt seaming that the couturier often used in lieu of surface ornamentation, providing his designs a clean, structured effect. Rendered in white wool, this style was a favorite of singer Françoise Hardy.
