LFW: Peter Pilotto
15-02-2008
Peter
Pilotto and Christopher De Vos are the designers behind the Pilotto label which
first came to the London fashion scene last season via On/Off. This time around
they presented at the Vauxhall Fashion Scout to a packed audience filled with
some rather fashion forward individuals.
As the
first outfits appeared the eyes were blasted with cosmic-coloured splatter
prints but what became apparent from some of the more tailored pieces were some
rather exceptional cutting skills.
A show of
many contrasts; billowing draped layers were combined with strong shouldered
leather jackets while waists were nipped-in with rope belts. Snoods, layers and
cowboy boots continued the hippy traveller vibe giving design details such as
unique twists and drapes a more casual effect.
This season
Peter Pilotto bagged TopShop New Generation exhibition sponsorship and while
the collection may not be to everyone’s taste there is no doubt that the label
is one to watch over the coming seasons.
