YSL Cruise 2011

Stefano Pilati has one decree when it comes to his new cruise collection: it’s all about the leg. How else to explain the vertiginous emphasis in his designs, which were formally unveiled at the French Consulate in New York? The new YSL girl is a leggy girl, outfitted in prints inspired by YSL archives. Pilati, however, merged multiple patterns into single motifs to create silhouettes reminiscent of Seventies-era YSL magazine editorials: note the floppy hat adorning a skirt. The pieces are certainly bold and have an immense pop to them. But cut in classic shapes and accessorized with belts and contrast piping, it works.
