Stefano Pilati Style Icon: Stefano Pilati mensfashionmagazine.com /style-icon-stefano-pilati Choosing Stefano Pilati as a style icon is a bit like calling Prince Charles posh. He may seem like an obvious candidate but then again, ask the average man on the street if they’ve ever heard of the stylish Italian and we, here at MFM, think you’re just as likely to have had tea with Charlie round at Buckingham Palace. Ask the man on the street if they have heard of YSL, Zenga, Armani or Prada however and the likelihood is you will get plenty of nodding heads. And what do said brands have in common? Stefano Pilati, that’s what. Pilati has a way of dressing in a way that is in keeping with the fashion bubble which he works within. He retains a sense of style, more associated with Italian men and their penchant for suits. While the blazer and trousers are there in name, however, the cut and shape are all of Pilati’s own making. He has a way of wearing clothes like no one else, they appear to move with his frame, following his every step like an extra shadow. Look at still photos of him snapped at fashion events and the clothes still appear to move in those moments caught in time. It’s not just the clothes either, the face is half Greek God, half caveman; those piercing eyes, big black beard and hair cropped close to his furrowed brow all come together to create a look that play as integral part to his appearance as the clothes upon his back. I imagine if a fashion designer dressed Zeus, Stefano Pilati would be the result. While this 49-year old Milanese born Italian may currently be plying his trade at Zegna, he is best known for the twelve years he spent at YSL, eight of which he was the Creative Director. Pilati was hired by Tom Ford in 2000 originally as design director but when the famous American left in 2004, Pilati took over the reins, creating season upon season of both critically and commercially acclaimed collections. Pilati originally started out studying environmental design but as he saw his hometown of Milan blossom into the epicentre of fashion in the 1980’s, the young Pilati soon had a change of heart and it was not long before he found himself working as an assistant at Armani. From here his eye for detail and creative flair caught the eye of another Italian fashion behemoth and he was soon working in fabric development for Prada before being promoted to Miu Miu as an assistant menswear designer. This rapid career trajectory soon found Pilati at the house of YSL and, as the saying goes, the rest is history. Of course not all of us can be world famous fashion designers and wear clothes that cost thousands of pounds. What we can do however, like any good designer would do, is modify our wardrobe to suit our own shapes, sizes and personal preferences. Here’s a few items Pilati himself might recommend. The Coat When it comes to the coat it is all about being oversized and long like an overcoat which, as it happens, in both shape and style are right on the money for the A/W season. The seam should be off the shoulder and the fit should be loose meaning there is plenty of room for sweaters, t-shirts and scarves underneath. The Tops Blazers, polo-necks, oversized shirts, you name it, they all pretty much go far, where Pilati is concerned. The key here is to keep it simple (which is essentially the key to how one should always dress) so if you do decide on a shirt or t-shirt, keep it plain. We here at MFM suggest classic white. The Trousers The Pilati trousers are his centrepiece and the most fashionable item in his otherwise relatively classic wardrobe. Usually worn quite baggy and long in length with fabric gathering at the base, this look is becoming more and more popular with brands such as AMI, Christophe Lemaire and Agi & Sam all producing collections with trousers far baggier than we have seen in recent years. The Footwear Once again it is all about the putting a twist of classic items; take the brogue for example and add a thicker, sturdier sole which is perfect for the winter months or pair your suit with some heavy duty black boots instead of those slimmed soled dress shoes you usually wear. A Final Note Stefano Pilati proves that the key to dressing well is taking pieces from the everyday wardrobe and shaping them to fit your own personal aesthetic. Yes of course not all of us have the ability to design and shape clothes in the way this debonair Italian does but there are a plethora of brands out there who can ensure what you wear is personal to you. To some people, a shirt is just a shirt, something to wear under your suit blazer. To others, they will buy it in a bigger size, wear it out over a pair of loose fitting jeans complete with a high rolled-up hem and a good pair of loafers to create an outfit that still retains all the raw ingredients of good clothing but adds a little spice at the same juncture – which is exactly what Pilati does. Pilati teaches us that it is not necessarily about breaking the rules, just bending them to fit your own shape..

    FASHIONING GENDER FASHIONING GENDER: A CASE STUDY OF THE FASHION INDUSTRY BY ALLYSON STOKES, B.A.(H), M.A. A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY AND THE SCHOOL OF GRADUATE STUDIES OF MCMASTER UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY c Copyright by Allyson Stokes, August 2013 All Rights Reserved Doctor of Philosophy (2013) McMaster University (Sociology) Hamilton, Ontario, Canada TITLE: Fashioning Gender: A Case Study of the Fashion Industry AUTHOR: Allyson Stokes BA.H., MA SUPERVISOR: Dr. Tina Fetner NUMBER OF PAGES: xii, 169 ii For Johnny. iii Abstract This dissertation uses the case of the fashion industry to explore gender inequality in cre- ative cultural work. Data come from 63 in-depth interviews, media texts, labor market statistics, and observation at Toronto’s fashion week. The three articles comprising this sandwich thesis address: (1) processes through which femininity and feminized labor are devalued; (2) the gendered distribution of symbolic capital among fashion designers; and (3) the gendered organization of the fashion industry and the “ideal creative worker.” In chapter two, I apply devaluation theory to the fashion industry in Canada. This chap- ter makes two contributions to literature on the devaluation of femininity and “women’s work.” First, while devaluation is typically used to explain the gender wage gap, I also address symbolic aspects of devaluation related to respect, prestige, and interpretations of worth. Second, this paper shows that processes of devaluation vary and are heavily shaped by the context in which work is performed. I address five processes of devaluation in fash- ion: (1) trivialization, (2) the privileging of men and masculinity, (3) the production of a smokescreen of glamour, (4) the use of free labor and “free stuff,” and (5) the construction of symbolic boundaries between “work horses” and “show ponies.” In chapter three, I use media analysis to investigate male advantage in the predomi- nantly female field of fashion design.

  • Redefining the High Art of Couture: Fashion Illustration Goes Modern
    Redefining the High Art of Couture: Fashion Illustration Goes Modern exhibition curated by Decue Wu Tuesday, April 30, 2013 Fashion illustration has a long history and has played a critical role in the fashion industry. In the past, fashion illustrations were the main avenue for presenting the glamorous fashion concepts of designers. The illustrators added their own elements into their illustrations while showing the designerʼs vision. Meanwhile, fashion illustrators also documented the fashion show as editorial illustrations for magazines, newspapers and other publications. Yves Saint Laurent drawing designs. 1957 Tuesday, April 30, 2013 Cover illustration by Benito, 1921, for Vogue, February 15, 1921. Cover illustration by Benito, 1929, for Vogue, August 1929. Tuesday, April 30, 2013 Exhibition Précis: Redefining the High Art of Couture: Fashion Illustration Goes Modern is an exhibition that asserts that fashion illustration is a fine art. The focus is on the fashion illustrations of notable contemporary fashion illustrators, including David Downton (1959), Gladys Perint Palmer, Tanya Ling (1966), Francois Berthoud (1961), Mats Gustafson (1951), Zoë Taylor (1982), Jean-Philippe Delhomme (1959) and Howard Tangye (1979). Approximately two to four illustrations showcase the remarkable artistic talents of each artist. This exhibition is meaningful because it dispels the idea that fashion illustration is merely a functional tool for a fashion house— one used either to instruct tailors or to be manipulated as a marketing-and-sales device in fashion magazines or blogs. Instead, these exquisite drawings lift fashion illustration to its rightful place—as a high-art form worthy of acquisition by a museum or a private collector.

  • FALL / WINTER 2012 Why, During These Iffy Times, Do Designers Want
    THE FASHION GROUP FOUNDATION PRESENTS FALL / WINTER 2012 TREND OVERVIEW BY MARYLOU LUTHER NEW YORK • LONDON • MILAN • PARIS Why, during these iffy times, do designers want us to dress like the 1 Percenters? Why do so many of the new fall collections feature jewel- laden, fur-bearing, gold-gilded, paparazzi-rousing clothes? Answer: It’s the economy, stupid. The economy in China, Brazil, Russia, Dubai and other outposts of abundance, where women actually want to look rich. They’ve got it and they want to flaunt it. Serving these customers is, of course, essential to the future of five-figure designer clothes. And it becomes even more pertinent as more and more designers build stores in these enclaves of wealth and status. LANVIN For those who prefer a more discreet way of dressing, there is not only hope, there are options. In fact, there is a new sense of neck-to-toe coverup—one that borders on body armor. It’s the modern expression of protective coloration, identified by high necklines, long, tattoo-hiding sleeves and a circumspect hemline that registers just below the knees, sometimes a little shorter, sometimes longer. (Yes, minis and short skirts are still offered, but they look dated—unless worn over pants.) Said pants are definitely narrow, many with raised waistlines. Pants are also integral to defining a truly new look: A tri-level, three-piece suit that consists of jacket/skirt/pant or jacket/dress/pant. This new pant-involved trilogy is shown by Marc Jacobs, Dries Van Noten, Aquilano Rimondi, Jean Paul Gaultier, Hussein Chalayan, Tess Giberson, Rag & Bone, Louis Vuitton and especially by Chanel, where Karl Lagerfeld takes the look into night, posing above-the-ankle evening dresses CALVIN-KLEIN over cropped, ankle-hovering pants.

    legendary designs from azzedine alaïa to yves saint laurent HANDBAGS A Love Story monica botkier Handbags_5p_hires.indd 2-3 5/24/17 11:06 AM INTRODUCTION remember the first time I fell in love . with a bag. It was locked away inside a glass tower at Bergdorf Goodman on the main floor. I strolled through, as I usually do every time the seasons and the collections change, and noticed this buttery soft brown hobo with impeccable stitching, a confident slouch, and the most alluring antique-like horn handle attached by simple rings on each side. It was everything I wanted to be: sophisticated, well traveled, exotic. That bag represented all my dreams. I had to have it. The bag was Yves Saint Laurent’s Mombasa, designed by the sexiest of designers, Tom Ford. I went to visit it every day for a week until I finally convinced myself that buying it was more important than paying the rent. Once I was the proud owner of my first designer bag, I began to notice how many otherI women had one. I also started to see bags for their color, size, condition, and brand. Designer bags had become my addiction, and I was inducted into a secret society that came with its own silent language spoken between members in knowing nods and glances of approval—in the streets, on the subway, at restaurants. Men have various trophies—cars, watches—and women have bags. It’s true that bags are practical—they protect our belongings and carry us through the day—but they also reveal taste, power, and status.
