for me i think YSL looks truly YSL under ALBER ELBAZ, & J.P. Gaultier would be the best for YSL....
while the blend of TOM FORD & YSL creates a new intresting & edgy brand which wasn't truly YSL in spirit but it was gorgeous ,... & shaking up the image of the brand was good in bringing attention even if it wasn't very true to the brand, but it set up the label for Pilati...
while for Pilati, his approach looks for me too classical when it is compared to TOM FORD, ALBER ALBAZ when he did YSL befor ford & JP Gaultier in his couture collections after YVES retirement.
PILATI's vocabulary wide belts, the black velvet ribbons & buttons???) & structure are repeated since his 1st debut, compare these:
the structure :
the cascade ruffles :
even in this ad.
however i feel there is a good point in making the vintage ysl image is beginning to look modern again
my only explaination for this is that Pilati aim is to make the collection seems to be designed by YVES him self????
