Peter Pilotto: Why Do You Need to Know This Brand?

Unless you are a fashion expert, it might be your first time to hear the name PETER PILOTTO.  On the other hand, I know you know the brand even if you don’t know that you know it.  Are you one of the 150 million who have watched Beyoncé’s Apes**t video? There you go, in the opening scene Beyoncé is wearing Peter Pilotto’s pink suit.

Furthermore, I’m pretty sure too that you had a glimpse somewhere of princess Eugenie wedding last October.  Take a wild guess who designed her stunning gown?  You got it!

Who is Peter Pilotto?

The creative team behind the London-based brand actually consists of two men: Peter Pilotto himself and his partner Christopher de Vos. After meeting in the prestigious Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, the duo launched their label in 2007. The brand made its name with the use of
KALEIDOSCOPIC graphics, COLOUR BLOCK designs and eye-catching DIGITAL PRINTS. While their aesthetic gave them instant success among fashion insiders, it is also their attention to cut and fit that secured them lasting and loyal customers.

Who Wears Peter Pilotto?

The brand has a wide base of clientele ranging from celebrities to public figures. The designers have mentioned in many occasions that they love to bring out the femininity of the woman who wears their clothes, which explains why different characters can find pieces that suit their style. Most notable customers would be Emily Blunt, Thandie Newton, Amy Adams & Demi Lovato to name a few. The duo are experts of MIXING PRINTS and COMBINING COLOURS. Therefore, their designs are a good resource if you are aiming to perfect your print/ colour matching techniques.
