omggggg, when did he do that?!What really makes me think he's out of the running for Chanel (lol... like he was ever in consideration) is the midlife-crisis forehead tattoo. I just can't see someone with a forehead tattoo being Chane's creative designer. I just can't!!! Gucci? Sure. Fendi? Fine. But CHANEL? :

Anna never loved him? That’s news to me….omggggg, when did he do that?!
I hate tattoos so much 😭
I actually don’t think Stefano has enough repertoire for a house like Chanel. He ran out of ideas in 2008.
Anyways, I think I will always have a soft spot for him. Even if he is in his midlife crisis and desperate for attention, he still is for me one of the “big” ones, IDK. What he does can be very chic in a a way that very few people can do. Intellectual without being pretentious.
I feel that the industry never really appreacited him and that’s why he has this “love me please” attitude. Kering, Anna Wintour… I think his talent was never recognized as it should. But at the same time, Anna loved Altuzarra and Wang, and Kering hired Saturday of Sarno, why should he care?
It’s true his last years at Sanlogan were a sh!t, but still…
In my head, he belongs to Armani because it’s the closest house to his spirit as a fashion designer. He is a fabrics geek and judging by the quality of Armani’s fabrics, he would actually have a blast there.
Current-day awkwardly proportioned, matronly, clownish Armani in an infant's color-palette of pink/blue/purple and 80s-wallpaper prints x current-day Pilati’s Random Identities equals the messiest fashion vomit. What an unholy fashion spawn that would be.
(…However, lush, plush and fluid 90s-Armani in all his desert-palette x Pilati’s YSL x Agnona. Fashion seventh heaven.)
That’s what I heard, but not 100% sure. I also remember a documentary and Anna was a little bit rude to him, which she never is with her loved ones 🫣 You could also see Stefano super uncomfortable and nervous under her presence.Anna never loved him? That’s news to me….
She wore his clothes, she supported him in her magazine at a time when Pierre Bergé started to use his power of nuisance. He was invited to the Met even when he was out of YSL…That’s what I heard, but not 100% sure.

He started doing fabric research for Prada around 1995, then three years later Miuccia promoted him to Miu Miu, where he designed both men's and women's collections, up until 2000, when he moved to YSL.When exactly did Pilati work for Prada / Miu Miu and in which position?
Im not sure the Milanese nightlife was that exciting for him because, in Paris, I think the walls of Le Montana and Le Baron remembers him and his friends Olivier Zahm and Andre.He started doing fabric research for Prada around 1995, then three years later Miuccia promoted him to Miu Miu, where he designed both men's and women's collections, up until 2000, when he moved to YSL.
Rumour has it that he fell out of grace with the Prada clan because they supported him so much as to pay for his rehab, due to his heavy drugs use. Only to be thanked by him jumping ship to assist Tom Ford in Paris.
I'm not sure someone's drug use has necessarily to do with the quality of nightlife though. He was very candid about it in an old interview on Fantastic Man, where he also posed for the cover: he started working at 17, without even finishing high school, and his family background, if memory serves me well, sounded a bit shaky. Whatever the reason, he ended up shooting heavily, hence the rehab, which probably at that point WAS interfering with his professional performance.Im not sure the Milanese nightlife was that exciting for him
