PILOTTO in Salzburg

... one of the most promising fashion designers (if not the most promising right now...) who are somehow linked to Austria is the Tyrolean designer Peter Pilotto, based in London of course. So it was about time that an Austrian fashion brand became aware of the option to collaborate with this gifted young man. The Salzburg-based brand Schneiders recently announced they would intensify their already existing collbaoration with Mr Pilotto and launch a co-branded outerwear collection in fall 2012. The inspiration, Peter tells us with a short statement, were striking landscape features in the Salzburg region as well as the particularities of the richly structured loden material. Definitely looking forward to this one, and a nice little gadget for all Pilotto co-branding aficionados (remember the bags he designed for Kipling?) ...



... l'un des créateurs d'origine autrichienne les plus doués et qui se réjouit d'un succès tout à fait remarquable actuellement, c'est le Tyroléen Peter Pilotto qui, basé à Londres, continue à nous surprendre avec des preuves de son talent extraordinaire. Par conséquent, il était grand temps que l'une des peu nombreuses marques de mode autrichiennes se souvienne de lui pour mettre en marche un projet de co-branding duquel ne peuvent que profiter les deux partis. C'est la maison Schneiders de Salzbourg qui a invité Mr Pilotto à créer une collection qui sera lancée en automne 2012, c'étaient, nous a-t-il dit, le paysage salzbourgeois et la surface du tissu loden qui l'ont inspiré au cours de la création. Par ailleurs, c'est aussi une belle occasion pour les fans des projets réalisés en collaboration avec Peter Pilotto, vous souvenez-vous des sacs qu'il a dessinés pour Kipling ...

A GALACTIC RENTRÉE with PETER PILOTTO




... now, my dear ParisVienne friends, what do we make of the inflationary "designer collaborates with huge brand" kind of projects? By now, we've got so used to them that, imho, nothing much, really. Or do such collaborations still have the potential to get us into a craze?

I mean, I think it is nice that, for example, thanks to Kipling, even non-dress-wearers (include myself in that fraction of the universe) can get their share of Peter Pilotto's inimitable patterns. And I would actually be considering to buy one, were it not for the hideous little Kipling label tag (cutting these things off always ends badly, I usually destroy my recently purchased goods) and somehow, for the overall look of the thing ...
