I'd like to see him take over at Armani. Wasn't that a rumor when he left YSL?
i really like Stefano, but he's having such a hard time generating buzz and sales...
Stefano is such an odd designer to me: He's very much Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. His work for YSL women's can be so hideous while the menswear for the same label can be so achingly stunning. His work at Agnona is beyond lush, while his menswear for Zegna is consistently fuddy-duddy tepidness at best.
His designs for Agnona were so unique, refined, extremely sophisticated and unpretentiously artisanal in every manner. Such a shame he won't be evolving such modern, timeless designs now.
Zegna on the other hand, is so consistently poor-- like ill-fitting mall clothes copying that Armani style of the late-80s/ early-90s without the Armani lushness; it's hard for me to believe it's the same man designing for Agnona.
I wish he was able to remain at Agnona and dumped Zegna instead.
More intriguingly, WWD suggests that Pilati is going to be "pursuing other personal projects" in womenswear in addition to his duties at Zegna, where he presented his first men's collection in 2013. That's certainly something we'll be keeping on our radar.
