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.
The Yves Saint Laurent Pre-Fall 2009 collection was complimented for being an accessible mid-season range. For this collection Stefano Pilati experimented with fabrication in order to drive costs down and keep sales up.

Stefano Pilati's unisex line for Yves Saint Laurent, called Edition Unisex, is poised to debut during New York Fashion Week--alllllll the way downtown. The pop-up will run for the entirety of the week, from tomorrow's first fashion murmurs through next week's straggling finales. The range, inspired by Pilati's Spring 2009 Men's collection, will include washed silk blazers, silk organza trench coats, and pants in crepe de chine which "maintain the men's silhouettes while offering an implicit femininity". Looks like downtown is good for more than just an after-party these days.
