i need to see this in detail but for now.. i'm not as thrilled as i usually are with Pilatti..
love his empty venue pic, this seems amazingly long, and with only two rows of chairs, this means that there was lots of detail work to be proud about

thanks everyone for the pics

about the Hedi Sliman replacment gossip:

If parent company Gucci was looking to reassert its confidence in the designer, the message came across loud and clear. Gucci Group chief Robert Polet firmly dismissed recent rumors that Pilati was about to be replaced.
"I think the show was fantastic and Stefano is here to stay — for a long time," he told The Associated Press.

PARIS - Italian designer Stefano Pilati returned to the venue where Yves Saint Laurent bid farewell to couture to present his ready-to-wear collection for the French label on Thursday.
Saint Laurent took over the massive hall of the Pompidou modern art museum in 2002 for a career retrospective lasting close to two hours — an eternity by the standards of modern fashion shows.
Pilati went for a different record: that of the world's longest catwalk. Models marched down a narrow room that ran the length of the building — 166 meters (yards), to be precise.
The YSL display capped a day of autumn-winter presentations in Paris that also included Celine, Stella McCartney and Emanuel Ungaro.
The shade of pink plastered over the walls and chairs was lifted from the packaging of Saint Laurent's fragrance Baby Doll, and the collection also paid homage to the house heritage.
Nods to the master included pussycat bows, done in everything from plush mink to supple leather, and an ample knee-length coat with two thin leather strips crossing in the back.
Not content to stroll through the archives, Pilati looked all the way back to the ancient civilizations of Byzantium and Greece.
This showed in the heavy gold chains that curled across cut-out panels on a sleeveless top, or a jewel-encrusted gold collar on a navy chiffon evening dress. He gave the full Midas treatment to a boatneck shift that shimmered with gold sequins.
If parent company Gucci was looking to reassert its confidence in the designer, the message came across loud and clear. Gucci Group chief Robert Polet firmly dismissed recent rumors that Pilati was about to be replaced.
"I think the show was fantastic and Stefano is here to stay — for a long time," he told The Associated Press.
