Former Yves Saint Laurent designer Stefano Pilati is finally releasing ready-to-wear under his own name with his new Zara capsule — and today’s the big drop day.
Launching in stores and online on Oct. 3, the long-awaited Stefano Pilati x Zara collection comprises womenswear, menswear and accessories ranging from $17.90 for striped socks to $699 for a black leather statement jacket finished with oversized metal eyelets. Other standouts include a sheer polka dot halterneck dress designed to be paired with trousers or other bottoms underneath, a deep-V jumpsuit, silk tuxedo blazers and pants in relaxed fits, striped silk halter tops, leather pants and skirts, wool smoking jackets, over-the-knee lace-up boots and faux fur coats.

It’s not all business: Zara’s latest designer collab gets a playful touch with strawberry- and banana-print silk blouses and pants, ruffled button-downs and tops, mesh tanks and long-sleeved shirts, jackets finished with oversized grommets, rainbow-striped pants and a frayed-edge peacoat with a dramatic collar.
Of his design philosophy, Pilati recently explained on Instagram, “I’ve always treated fashion as a medium able to be expressed, used, and part of sociological issues, sometimes political, and definitely philosophical. Nothing per se needs to be said: symbolising through design and ‘gestures’ can be powerful. Adding anti-conformism to my creations allowed me to opt out of the bourgeois-luxury-cliché.”
Those style codes are seen in his Zara collection by way of blazers and suit pants in voluptuous silhouettes, traditional striped button-down shirts with rounded collars and pieces with checkered or houndstooth accents (or both); and in the lookbook, where mesh pieces are layered underneath classic cardigans and chunky ’60s- and ’80s-inspired sunglasses and earrings are paired together.

Pilati’s Zara pieces are brought to life in black-in-white through a campaign shot by iconic photographer Steven Meisel and starring Gisele Bundchen alongside the designer himself.
After making a name for himself at Armani, Prada and Miu Miu, the Italian designer led YSL from 2004 to 2012 before heading to Ermenegildo Zegna to lead the couture collections and the brand’s Agnona womenswear line. He launched his unisex label, Random Identities, in 2017, and most recently designed a capsule collection for Fendi in 2023.
