I HEART YSL!

I absolutely love YSL's resort collection! Looks like Stefano Pilati is finally lightening up, a drastic change from his fall show in February. Pilati paid tribute to the seventies using trends such as high waisted shorts throughout the collection. The amazing this about this collection is that is really felt like a YSL collection as apposed to the last ready to wear endeavor. The shapes Pilati uses are new and innovative.

DOnt even get me started on his fantastic use of colors! Pilati paid tribute here to the classic YSL colors, fuchsia, coral, lilac. A great combination is the mix of both fuchsia and mustard color.

The silhouettes, the bandeaus, the coloring, everything from head to toe, I just love it! A smash hit for the brand and for Pilati.

YSL

The mood reflected in the clothes was insanely somber. It is very hard not to infer religious symbolism in the clothes as many of them seemed to be channeling inspiration from nun attire, expressed in the white high collars, and the black long capes. The curious gold chained figures are said to be based on fashion photographs of the late Yves Saint Laurent clothes made in the seventies, they were said to be "A homage".

In this collection it is clear that Pilati is attempting to step out of the shadow of the master and trying to make a statement of his own. He is trying to redefine the way the 21st century woman dresses, however YSL had it right, he dressed the working woman in Parisian influenced garments and thus he gained his following.
