Peter Pilotto on Why He Wants Investment Sooner Than Later

The international talent at Singapore’s Audi Fashion Festival is impressive: Carolina Herrera opened the event, Hussein Chalayan will close it. Friday’s schedule featured Tsumori Chisato. And Saturday brought Peter Pilotto, the London-based designer whose lauded collections are just as much about the fabrics and detailing as they are about his memorable computerized prints.

The Savannah College of Art and Design’s (SCAD) School of Fashion is one of the best in the country, and the student fashion show is an event that we always look forward to. Last year’s senior fashion show left us seriously impressed with the students’ skills, and we have no doubt it will be even better this year.

Take a front row seat with us and watch the next big names in fashion bring their designs to life on the catwalk as we livestream the show on Saturday, May 18 at 8pm EST–in other words, now!

Editor’s Pick: Leah’s Prim But Adorable Spring Dress

Even if my legs haven’t seen the sun in what feels like years, it’s actually warm out now which means it’s time to start wearing seasonally appropriate clothes. Like spring-y dresses.
