It was reported by WWD on Saturday that YSL Creative Director Stefano Pilati was to be succeeded by Hedi Slimane after his contract expires next month.
This morning rumours were confirmed that Pilati is leaving the brand he has worked for for more than a decade, yet no confirmation has been made as to who is to replace him or where he is headed.
The news follows last weeks headlines that Raf Simons is set to leave Jil Sander and that he was headed to the brand, despite PPR officially dismissing these rumours in September.
With the the post for Creative Director at Dior still vacant and Jil Sander returning to her eponymous label, there is set to be a big shake up with two of PPR's biggest labels over the coming year.
