Con 20 años, Stefano Pilati entró a trabajar en una empresa textil como diseñador y, en 1993, llegó su entrada al mundo de la moda más privilegiado. Su buen hacer consiguió que Giorgio Armani le contratara como asistente de diseño para sus colecciones masculinas. Dos años después, entraba a formar parte de la casa Prada, en la que colaboró dentro de su departamento de investigación de tejidos y desarrollo. En 1998, daba un paso más en su ya exitosa carrera y era elegido por Miuccia Prada como su asistente para las colecciones de hombre y mujer de la firma Miu Miu.
Pero, lo que realmente le reportó su fama internacional fue su llegada a la casa Yves Saint Laurent. En 2000, fue contratado por Tom Ford (diseñador de esta firma) para ocupar el puesto de director de diseño de las colecciones, primero femeninas y luego, masculinas. Se convirtió en la mano derecha del modisto texano, lo que le llevó a ocupar su puesto cuando éste decidió marcharse de la compañía en marzo de 2004.

Waris Ahluwalia is one of New York’s many polymaths. He’s a designer, actor, artist, fashion muse, style icon and story teller. He’s also one of the few Sikhs here to be called a man-about-town - women adore him - and is photographed at the chicest events wearing a custom made Savile Row suit, pocket square, Indian cashmere scarf and a turban.
House of Waris, his jewellery company, has been described as “idiosyncratically beautiful” - all pieces are handcrafted in Jaipur, and so Ahluwalia splits his time between India and New York. The one of a kind pieces are sold at Colette in Paris, Barneys in New York and Liberty in London, amongst other luxury stores. Now he has designed a more affordable diffusion line called ‘Waris Loves You’, exclusively for yoox.com which is on sale now.
