Stefano Pilati Lands a Job
Good news for Stefano Pilati lovers. Elle just tweeted, “Breaking: Stefano Pilati will be taking on the role as head of design for @ZegnaUS and creative director for Agnona.” The former YSL designer has been jobless since his exit from the famed French house this past fall — which is years in the fashion world. Wonder how the twitterati is taking this news? Style.com’s Meenal Mistry tweeted, “Stefano Pilati going to Zegna/Agnona is great news. Tho I’m still not ruling him out as Armani‘s successor. #fashionclosure.” InStyle‘s EIC Ariel Foxman added, “Pilati is back! Particularly excited, as a Zegna consumer. Plus, eager to see what he will bring to Agnona.” Glamour‘s EIC Cindi Leive agreed tweeting, “First day back to work and already good fashion gossip: Stefano Pilati to go to Zegna. Great hire!” We couldn’t agree more.
