It seems Stefano Pilati has seen enough velour sweatsuits (puke, who hasn’t). This Yves Saint Laurent designer is rolling out a new capsule collection called Edition 24, which aims to outfit the sophisticated traveler with everything she needs for an overnight adventure. The line is comprised of around 50 seasonless pieces that are meant to be mixed and matched to create 24 looks in a simple palette of black, white and khaki. The chiffon dress resists wrinkling, the vinyl trench coat can handle London’s rainiest day, and the tailored tuxedo jacket can be thrown over the white blouse for easy dinner dressing. And since Pilati is hoping to reach ?a broader, younger clientele? with Edition 24, it’s only natural that he enlisted user-generated internet content to help promote the collection. Earlier this week, model Jessica Miller, clad in the new line, acted out 24 hours worth of screenplay. The resulting film, shot by Nick Knight, will be on view at Yves Saint Laurent this fall.

Here are a look at some of the pieces.  What I love about them is the seasonless aspect Pilati is trying to embody. So they really can go from one place to the next at any time of the year, to any climate.  Layering is the key here if changing drastic climates.  Trotting the globe never looked so effortless….

 

 

What you see here is a classic Pilati creation in neutral colors with a wide variety of layering options. You can take or leave this trench, and the crisp white shirt underneath can go just about anywhere anytime.  I love the tights with the sandals as well.  So versatile.  Perfect travel garb for a long haul flight, chic yet effortless.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here you can never go wrong with white and black. This cool two-pieced outfit can take you anywhere at any time of the year. Gone are the days of no white after Labor Day.  If you can squeeze tights into your peep toe’d heels, you can do anything.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And then we have the classic everything bag that YSL is famous for.  This carries well as an on-flight bag, or even take it with you wherever you want this fall.  You don’t HAVE to be a jet-setter to enjoy the chic look of Edition 24.
