Purple Magazine | Stefano Pilati by Olivier Zahm

Purple’s Olivier Zahm followed Yves Saint Laurent designer Stefano Pilati for a couple weeks to capture the essence of his style. In an interview with the photographer and friend, Pilati talks about his own aesthetic and various inspirations. Expressing his opinion about men’s fashion today, Pilati shared, “Men’s fashion has changed a lot. It’s a disaster really, the men you see walking down the street. There’s no proportion, no sense of style. People look for comfort more than anything else. That’s the reason for the success of those shoes that are a bit city and a bit sporty. [Laughs] Why not have a nice pair of brogues, a nice pair of clogs for the weekend, and a pair of sneakers to do walking in? But it’s all mixed up now.” To read more of the interview, check out the latest issue of Purple on newsstands.
