Stefano Pilati will skip a formal runway show for Yves Saint Laurent's Fall 2008 menswear collection, Fashionweekdaily reports.
The designer plans to showcase his designs on the evening of January 16. The presentation, to be followed by a private dinner, will first be shown to a hand-picked audience of press and retailers.
Pilati is expected to re-imagine the way in which he shows his men's collection--a sort of experiment and a way of challenging convention. One of his aims is to "reduce the distance between editors and the clothing," and to create a more tangible experience whereby guests can touch and fully appreciate the intricacy of detail in the collection. "We're as invested as we ever have been in the category," a YSL spokesperson said, dispelling any thoughts that the decision was a cost-cutting measure.
