Yves Saint Laurent doesn't have much of a high street collaboration history to speak of but, between the manifesto and Edition Unisex collection, it should come as no surprise that the brand would move in that direction. Following in the footsteps of Alexander McQueen and Sergio Rossi, Stefano Pilati designed a YSL men's shoe for Puma poised to hit shelves any day now. The sneaker, which comes in all-black and brown, blends "Stefano Pilati’s design prowess and the activewear firm’s technical expertise". Click on the title link above to learn more.

We've been on a sportswear kick this season and we're not the only ones. It seems Sergio Rossi designed a range for Puma which recently hit shelves. The colorful and on-trend styles are rendered in satin, giving them a ready-to-wear feel. Although the sneaker pumps are significantly higher in price, the classic sneakers are just under two hundred dollars. Wear them with a monochromatic gray look and you'll be sporty and fashionable.
Hussein Chalayan is among those designers, like Rei Kawakubo, Alexander McQueen, or Junya Watanabe, who lets exploration and experimentation sometimes get the best of his ability to make clothing wearable... and, according to the Times Online, to an exceptional degree. The "From Fashion And Back" retrospective (put together by Puma where Chalayan is now creative director) celebrates the designer's talent in this area. Thankfully, the combination of an unbending artistic vision and involvement with a global brand now afford him the best of both worlds. To see more images from the exhibition, click here.
