To show his Autumn/Winter 2008 menswear collection for Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche, creative director Stefano Pilati broke the mould of the traditional catwalk show by presenting his collection via film. Originally displayed on a triptych of screens, the film plays across three frames of action and is here shown in its entirety. Romantic, ethereal and yet technologically complex, the film manages to evoke the twin dynamics of familiarity and formality and the tension of old and new constantly at play in Pilati’s offerings for men.

Stefano Pilati is a busy, busy man. As opposed to just changing the content of men’s fashion, he decided to toy with the context of its presentation, eschewing a catwalk show in favour of presenting a short film – which SHOWstudio are lucky enough to have in its entirety. Originally shown during the menswear collections in Paris earlier this month, the video is edited to evoke the passage of time – a day in the life of the Yves Saint Laurent homme – as well as showcasing Pilati’s designs for Autumn/Winter 2008.
