Stefano Pilati Talks YSL (For the First Time Since Leaving) and What's Next

In his first interview since showing his final collection for Yves Saint Laurent just four weeks ago, Stefano Pilati was the guest of honor at last night's Fashion Talks at the French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF). He sat down with Pamela Golbin, Chief Curator of the Louvre's Musée de la Mode et du Textile to chat about his career thus far and what might be next. While the two skirted around the issue of what exactly led to Pilati's somewhat sudden departure from YSL, and never mentioned his successor, Hedi Slimane, one got the impression that his time there was complicated and so is he, as a person.

YSL's Stefano Pilati Is Scared of Bloggers

Before his resort show yesterday (Lauren's review to come), YSL's Stefano Pilati opened up to WWD about the criticism he's faced, particularly from bloggers. “My fashion has never tried to be editorially oriented. My research was more subtle, on the edge to the more boring,” he told WWD. He clarified that his clothes aren’t boring, just that they aren’t flashy and are best understood when worn. He also acknowledged that he wasn’t trying to be better than Yves Saint Laurent himself, and he puts the label before himself, never crediting a collection “Stefano Pilati for Yves Saint Laurent.” He addressed his critics head on: “I’m very surprised when criticism comes from a very shallow approach.” He wants his critics to tell him why they think something looks bad, rather than just saying it looks bad. This then turned into a conversation about bloggers.
