YSL Vested Interests

It's not exactly comfy and just like the Brisbane bus lines we'll hear you before we even see you coming but this YSL creation is so uncomfortably chic ID Couture puts it right up there with stiletto heels - it aches to wear but great fashion currency.

The Plexiglass vest for Yves Saint Laurent SpringSummer 08 collection is the handy work of Stefano Pilati, the man never afraid to experiment and try something new.
Pilati, the head designer of YSL used to be Tom Ford’s right-hand man at the YSL Rive Gauche ready-to-wear collection and has also designed for Giorgio Armani and Miu Miu.

We hope the plexiwear is just a Pilati thing but it appears that (highlighting the hypocrisy in our love for this vest) big logos are back across brands - and we're not sure if we're totally sold. One more thing to possibly endure in the close of 2008, but we do love the vest :)
