Former YSL designer transferred to Zegna

Stefano Pilati was born in 1965 in Milan, the fashion capital of Italy. His parents divorced since childhood and lived with his mother and two older sisters. He himself admits that he grew up in a female world. Such a childhood experience gave him the opportunity to go deeper into women's hearts and understand their needs.

Stephanie Pilati is arguably the most influential genius. His iconic pieces include YSL Muse handbags. He likes to light up in a low-key atmosphere with bright colors to create a cold, pure image for women. However, this overly capable and feminine style has also been controversial. Another part of the fashion elite praised him for his persistence and concealment.

Former Yves Saint-Loren (YSL) design and creative director Stephane Pilati has officially announced his transfer to Zegna and is responsible for the design ideas of Zegna Menswear and Agnona Women's Wear. He will officially assume office in January 2013.

Previously, it was once rumored that the new owner of Stephane Pilati would be Giorgio Armani. It seems that the designer who has both men's and women's creative abilities is still very much in demand.
