The inspiration:
It was the very first piece Yves Saint Laurent presented under his name, in 1962. Opening his fashion show, worn with white shantung pants and mules, the thick wool double-breasted overcoat worn by sailors to ward off the cold and the rain - the caban, or pea coat - was reinvented as a couture garment. And paved the way for Yves Saint Laurent's signature style, which borrowed from menswear to make women feel comfortable and confident.
Turning the simplicity of a practical garment into the ultimate form of refinement, YSL's caban has shown its range throughout the years, asserting a marine-inspired look or nonchalantly worn over a sleek cream satin gown.
The Caban is more than just a single garment; it's a symbol of the YSL style, its clean lines and structured shape contributed to the distinctive YSL silhouette. blending masculine tailoring with feminine grace, female empowerment, and timeless sophistication.
The Caban conveys a sense of confidence and power. When a person wears a Caban, they adopt a garment that historically signified authority and strength. This creates a sense of self-assuredness and boldness without compromising its fascinating elegance.
