Guys, I am extremely hard to please. My favorite designer is Karl Lagerfeld, who is a complete genius that I had the pleasure of meeting (said meeting induced a lapse in breathing and speaking English) and yet even sometimes I'm not happy with his collections. So when I find a designer and obsess over him, he's something special.
Meet Peter Pilotto. While shopping on Net-a-porter.com, I came across the London brand's amazing draped dresses with pops of energetic color and slices of emboldened prints. I fell deeply in love. Among the qualities that make the line simply irresistible, fit is a skill designers, Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos, have truly mastered. The flattering silhouettes are a testament to their keen understanding of a woman's physique.
Take a gorgeous painting (let's say, the brainchild of Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko) and compress it into a short, sultry frock and you've got Peter Pilotto's latest dresses in nutshell.
A genius when it comes to patchwork, no fabric is too conservative or too futuristic for Pilotto to interweave it into his masterful creations. Whether he's overlaying a 'mirror reflector' atop wool, leather and tweed, or blending paisley and floral prints over silk crepe, his wizardry is nothing short of extraordinary.
Shop the pieces that have fueled my hopeless dress addiction below. Are you hooked?
Kisses,
Coutura
