the rising stars S/S 2010

Peter Pilotto

By Emma Sells

Don’t be deceived by the name: the uber-elegant draping and tailoring of the label Peter Pilotto is actually the work of two men, the half-Austrian, half-Italian Peter Pilotto, and the half-Belgian, half-Peruvian Christopher De Vos. They met while both were studying at Antwerp’s Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 2000, where both were inspired by the others work. They started their label in 2007 with Pilotto in charge of colours, prints and beading, while De Vos focused on patterns and shapes. They explain: ‘Each others work was an important stimulation ever since meeting as students, so the decision to join forces was quite easy.’ And the results are quite beautiful - as they like to describe their aesthetic, eclectic, with the concept of the curiosity cabinet remaining a constant inspiration. Their autumn/winter collection mixes kaleidoscopic prints with architectural shapes, short hemlines and sharp shoulders for a line of knock out cocktail dresses.
