London based ready-to-wear label Peter Pilotto is delighted to announce that it will show its Spring/Summer 2020 collection at Milan Fashion Week this September.
The brand founded by Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos will make its official debut in Milan with a runway show to be staged on Sept. 18 at the prestigious Teatro Manzoni venue.
“We are very honored to join the Camera della Moda Italian Fashion Week calendar and engage on this new journey,” say Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos. “We are also proud to represent British fashion abroad in such a key and sophisticated fashion capital as Milan.”
Moving the show to Milan is a strategic step for the Peter Pilotto brand, which will be able to fully showcase the high-end craftsmanship of its ready-to-wear and leather good collections exquisitely manufactured by skilled artisans in Italy.
In keeping with the multicultural background of the brand’s designers, who feature Italian, Austrian, Peruvian and Belgian roots, Milan will offer a new fascinating, international playground for Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos. They chose to show their new collection at the Teatro Manzoni because of its eclectic and elegant beauty reflecting their passion for audacious combinations of materials, colours and prints.
Both graduated from Antwerp’s Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos launched the Peter Pilotto brand in London in 2007.
Unique fabric innovations are the starting point of every collection, giving a cutting edge, distinctive twist to printmaking, intricate intarsia and sophisticated lace knits. The ability to link art and fashion comes naturally to the duo, who succeeded in expanding into the realm of furniture, interior design and beyond.
