It’s Official: Stefano Pilati Will Leave Yves St. Laurent

[GERGIN]

Not too sure I will care enough for what he'll be doing with the menswear, but I am intrigued to see how Agnona turns out for him.

I don't really have high expectations for him to be honest though .

While not the most exciting appointment in terms of big high fashion glitz, it does seem like a really natural and and practical pairing. I think Pilati already knows the Zegna and Agnona customers extremely well, and I think part of the issue was that he wrongly identified them as the YSL customer. It's great to see him in a place where he can really let go and do HIM. And to that point, it's great for him to be at a house with a heritage and not a legacy, he's more open to interpretation, he can really indulge who he is without the discrepencies forming between his work and the house's legacy. Very exciting!
