Above: Stefano Pilati reacting to the news that he's been let go. I'm kidding, but seriously dude, why the long face?
Stefano Pilati's contract at YSL has not been renewed. Major sads. The fall 2012 collection will be his last and his successor will be named after the show. Rumoured to take over is Hedi Slimane. Pilati has been head designer at YSL since spring 2005. In that time he's raised the profile of the brand which has finally broken even after years of debt. Below are some of my favourite looks over the years.
Above: Spring 2005. A strong debut sets the tulip/bubble skirt trend.
Above: Fall 2005. Mariacarla Boscono in a cropped le smoking. This collection set off the trend for platform shoes.
Above: Spring 2006
Above: Fall 2008 featured Pilati's best cut pants that were full at the waist and cropped above the ankle. If you watch the show on Youtube a lot of the clothes in this collection appear to float around the body.
Above: Spring 2008 had wide-shouldered looks and brilliant use of colour.
