PETER PILOTTO ABOUT

PETER PILOTTO’s vision of womenswear embraces both new and classic perspectives on elegance. Otherworldly prints combine with soft sculptural shapes to form the handwriting of the design duo, something which evolves and is explored each season as opposed to being reactionary.

Pilotto is focused toward textiles and print whereas De Vos concentrates more on silhouette and drape. However, the duo work beyond their individual perimeters to create something new, their process being very organic and beyond an integration of the two fields.

PETER PILOTTO prefer to guard a little magic around their creations for the wearer’s own input. This is reinforced by the idea of the curiosity cabinet, which is something that holds stimulus for the duo. The curiosity cabinet is a metaphor for journey, their cultural mix and a collection of recurring things that enamour them, such as natural phenomena. The duo are particularly fascinated with a scientific view of nature, as reflected in the microscopic, encrusted, hyper-real prints of the collections.

Their customer is unique in that she is beyond pure classification of age or style, just like the clothes themselves. She is instantly attracted to the clothes and will wear them with her own expression, whether she encounters their designs through a chance discovery or is a loyal follower.

PETER PILOTTO is at current date sold in 42 countries worldwide and featured at over 200 directional retailers including; Colette in Paris; Harvey and Dover Street Market in London; Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fith Avenue in New York, Joyce in Hong Kong and China.

Autumn Winter 2012 marked the tenth London catwalk show for the design duo, supported by Topshop. For their Spring Summer 2012 Collection they were awarded Fashion Forward sponsorship, supported by the British Fashion Council and Coutts.

In December 2009 PETER PILOTTO was awarded the best emerging talent award at the British Fashion Awards.
