Giulia Guidi – Le Smoking

20 for 20 Look No. 6 – Dormeuil Super Brio

 

 

Michael Andrews Bespoke’s twentieth-anniversary lookbook with Dormeuil pairs twenty members of the MAB community with twenty cloths pulled from the mill’s archive. Look No. 6 belongs to Giulia Guidi, dressed in Super Brio.

Giulia Guidi is Marketing and Communication Manager for The St. Regis Florence and The Westin Excelsior Florence. She studied business of fashion at Polimoda in Florence and has previously worked at Wolford and Bally.

In 1966, Yves Saint Laurent challenged convention with Le Smoking, a tuxedo that redefined the boundaries of eveningwear and became one of fashion’s most enduring statements. The cloth he chose came from Dormeuil.

Nearly six decades later, its influence remains unmistakable. Photographed at The St. Regis Florence, Giulia Guidi offers a contemporary interpretation of that original spirit—confident, elegant, and entirely her own.

Here, Le Smoking becomes Lo Smoking. Not a replica, but an homage. A reminder that the most enduring icons are not preserved behind glass, but reinterpreted by each generation that encounters them.

Like the garment that inspired it, Dormeuil’s Super Brio balances tradition with modernity, proving that true style evolves while remaining unmistakably true to itself.
