Peter Pilotto

DESIGNER NAMES: Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos

BACKGROUND: Pilotto is half-Austrian, half-Italian and De Vos is half-Belgian, half-Peruvian. The designers met whilst studying at Antwerp's Royal Academy of Fine Arts in the year 2000.

SIGNATURES: Peter Pilotto's vision of womenswear embraces both new and classic perspectives on elegance. Otherworldly prints combine with soft, sculptural shapes to form the handwriting of the design duo, something which evolves and is explored each season as opposed to being reactionary.

IDEAL CLIENT: “She is beyond pure classification of age or style, just like the clothes themselves.”

TRADEMARK: “Thought-through print placements.”
