Stefano Pilati has been playing with proportion on the male side for some time now. It all came to fruition in his latest collection for YSL. IT was much dressier than many of the casual sportswear collections that have been presented this season. I don't think I've wanted a pair of pleated trousers more in my life! OK - so the new version of the overall is a bit difficult, I'll give you that, but I think what he was really trying to emphasize was the higher inseam in many of his trousers, many of which had a drop crotch quality to them. There was a nice mix of short vs. long and oversized vs. fitted for the tops in the collection. The update to suiting was provided by a pleated lining that was hanging out of many of the jackets. Some jackets also seemed very traditional in the front, but had pleating done to the back on top of the pleated lining. I also really liked the exaggerated pitch on many of the jackets, which caused them to kick forward. I also covet the black shearling jacket in this collection more than any other shearling jacket presented for Fall 2010! Overall, the collection was an evolution of the futuristic elements that Stefano has been toying with for the past 5 seasons and really fell into many of the major trends that have emerged for this upcoming fall/winter season.
