Every one of these look is worth a million words. Stefano Pilati knows more about how to make a woman feel superior than most. Bold and elegant, the YSL Womens Resort 09/2010 Collection is beautifully represented through this simple and remarkably styled look book. For the look book they used Mina Cvetkovic, a model we are starting to see more and more frequently.

Stefano Pilati’s latest obsession is an original collection designed for women which has been inspired by the latest Yves Saint Laurent Men Spring/Summer collection. The artistic director has used key outfits from his mens collection (blazer, costume, shirt, trouser, trench..) that he adjusted to the womens size in order to create 17 “unisex” silhouettes. This special line called “Edition Unisexe” will be sold during the Fall/Winter fashion weeks in the main fashion capitals. It will be available at the mens corner of the Yves Saint Laurent stores in London, Milan, Paris, and in a special pop-up store (55 Great Jones @ Bowery) in New York. Mr Pilati’s new line seems to be inspired from his personal outfits, so if  you want to dress like Yves Saint Laurent’s designer, you can find these creations in New York from the 13th to the 20th of February, in London from the 20th to the 24th of February, in Milan from the 25th of February to the 04th of March and in Paris from the 5th to the 12th of March.

I had trouble to give a title to this article. I mean it could have been multiple suiting things like, “Claudia Schiffer for YSL”, or “My Heart Stops, When Stefano Pilati Starts” or “The Hollywood Sign Abstracted”, but I couldn’t make anything more important that this shoe. No matter what else is released this year nothing will come close to this graphic sculptural peep toe boot, made of leather and wire. It is just pure untouchable genius! It is no wonder they have the whole SS09 YSL campaign was based on it, and the photos of Schiffer shot by Inez & Vinoodh are nothing short of amazing. They captured that Hollywood Glamour with the abstracted letters of the Hollywood sign just behind Schiffer.

For the Spring/Summer 09 Mens Collection YSL has created a video of Stefano Pilati’s cerebral deconstruction of heteronormative gender assumptions. This performance art meets fashion video is a brilliant virtual tour of the mastermind of Yves Saint Laurent’s Stefano Pilati, and the darkness that surrounds the loss of one of fashions greatest contributors. see video below

Kasia Struss was photographed by Tim Richardson for Dazed & Confused Magazine (stylist: Karen Langley ) on March 7, 2008 at Pier 59 Studios. The editorial is a Yves Saint Laurent special, celebrating Stefano Pilati’s contribution to the house of Saint Laurent. A video of the shoot can be seen here.
