This Yves Saint Laurent motorcycle jacket from the fall/winter ’08 collection is quite a remarkable piece and I am envious of Richard, who I meet often meet at fashion parties.  This jacket and several of the other ones from this collection dispense with almost every bit of construction.  In a a felt-like stiff wool, this jacket is distinguished by its lack of any structuring, lining, or interfacing.  It is just one layer of fabric with a minimal amount of stitching.  This collection from Stefano Pilati, which used a video rather than a runway show, is my favorite from him.
