The style, shocking at time of its debut when it was still seen as controversial for women to trousers in public, has since become a signature of the Parisian fashion house, its status cemented by an iconic image shot by Helmut Newton in 1975.

Birkin, who inspired the Hermes bag of the same name, was present at Saint Laurent's autumn/winter 2016 show at Paris Fashion Week earlier this month.

It model/actress Cara Delevingne also fronts the house's second campaign for its La Collection de Paris. She appears in a series of images, shot in New York City by creative director Hedi Slimane.
