Eighty-six years after Marlene Dietrich wore a tux in her breakout role in Morocco, the tuxedo jacket is as relevant and covetable as ever. This season, London-based designer Racil Chalhoub is giving the iconic piece the star treatment. Her line, Racil, sees the topper reinvented in punchy hues and with luxe embellishm­ents. (Swarovski crystals, anyone?) The jackets are crafted by Savile Row tailors with a wool weave used in men’s suiting, while the satin-covered buttons are made by an artisan in Paris. “The jackets reflect a sense of femininity in the cut and softness of the fabric,” she says. “But, above all, femininity is an attitude.” (From $240, racil.com)
