Photography by Jordan Hemingway; makeup by Kenny Campbell; casting by Walter Pearce. Produced for Dover Street Market London. Softcover zine, 48 pages, 17.5 × 24.5 cm; photographic and reproduced graphic material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePilati founded Random Identities in 2017 after a career moving through Cerruti, Armani, Prada, Yves Saint Laurent and Zegna. At Saint Laurent he served as creative director for eight years. Random Identities marked a deliberate move away from the machinery of the established luxury house: a smaller, independently controlled project based in Berlin and organised around changing ideas of gender, identity and how clothes circulate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe zine belongs directly to that shift. Rather than presenting a conventional seasonal lookbook, Pilati and Hemingway build a fragmented visual world from fashion photographs, contact-sheet sequences, drawings, handwritten pages and portraits. One spread describes the publication as being seen “through the eyes of a goth” and dedicated to Stefano. Elsewhere, figures move between club styling, personal documentation and fashion image-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts contributor page reads less like the credits of a corporate campaign than the record of a temporary network: photographers, models, casting directors, studios, labs, artists and friends assembled around the project. This was part of Random Identities’ original proposition—Pilati taking the knowledge of institutional luxury and redistributing it through a younger, Berlin-centred and more informal system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe restrained wrapper, almost anonymous apart from a black horizontal block on the front, makes the publication resist the usual mechanics of fashion branding. Inside, identity becomes unstable: repeated, photographed, handwritten, performed and reassigned. A fashion publication functioning simultaneously as campaign and independent document, recording the moment a designer associated with one of fashion’s largest houses deliberately moved into self-publishing, subculture and small-scale circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition: Good. Light handling and surface wear to wrappers, with minor creasing, faint marks and slight edge and corner wear. Internally complete and generally clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecurely packed; tracked UK and international shipping available.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The New Rare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54201741279570,"sku":"PILATI-RANDID-ZINE-2019","price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/5636\/1554\/files\/Pilati_Stefano._Random_Identities_zine_photography_by_Jordan_Hemmingway._2019.jpg?v=1786086225"}],"url":"https:\/\/thenewrare.com\/collections\/stefano-pilati.oembed","provider":"The New Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
