Stefano Pilati - Designer

With just a little bit more humility though…

Many of designers of that caliber lack it though

Considering that the ego was there before the caliber and that the body of work is not really up to the level of ego, Stefano should tone it down. But I guess the new found interest from social media only made it worst at this point.

I thought he calmed down since the Zegna and YSL days actually but that’s just my observation

i always loved his YSL and have pieces from Random Identities although I did think he lost a bit of his touch recently.
He is a "true" designer

I was unaware of his ego until now reading these posts. How did it manifest? Is he just an A hole in general?

He is a good designer. Someone that I respect and I think his triptyque at YSL (FW2007 + SS2008 + FW2008) is probably one of the best ever but he is one of those who has a very high view of himself when in reality, he should be more humble.

I think it’s probably that « intellectualism » actually. Coming from Milan, from Prada and the Armani thing. He is one of the « intellectuals ». The ego has always been there, even during the Tom Ford days at YSL. He toned it down a little bit when he became the main man at YSL because you can’t compete with Pierre Bergé.

He did a lot for YSL and Pinault should be thankful to him. Unfortunately, Pinault kinda sabotaged him when he got let go.

When he moved to Berlin to become a rebel after years of living near the Élysée Palace, I though he wanted to touch the ground. When he got his face tattoos and launched Random Idenities, I though it was a midlife crisis coupled with a fresh start desire. Then he started to mingle with Adrian Joffe and I realized that he was still his old self. The last nail in the coffin was that last talk of him in Italy.

The ego is still at a all time high and I still find him a bit ungrateful towards Tom.
