Yves Saint Laurent's Passing
One could argue that not since Joan of Arc put on an armor suit has a line of women's clothing had such an effect on the raising of society's consciousness. Certainly the irresistible social forces that Hillary Clinton embodies made the moment appropriate in the 1960s for the introduction of the pantsuit. In return, the pantsuit may have imbued Sen. Clinton with a subliminal credibility as a potential commander-in-chief that she might not have enjoyed were she to have appeared on the campaign trail in a skirt. We'll never know for sure, but great historical events have turned upon such subtleties.
