The statement continued: “During the imminent break, Peter and Christopher will reassess all aspects of the future of the brand, it’s [sic] structure, business model and operations.” A quote attributed to the duo said: “We have loved working together and love what we have created with Peter Pilotto. The brand is a true blend of our passions and creativity, but we need time to pause and rethink before we explore our next steps in this rapidly changing world.

The designers taking a bow at the finale of their spring/summer 2020 catwalk show, their last in London.A caption underneath the post, appeared to suggest that the duo would continue to own the label, presumably following talks with their investors MH Luxe and Megha Mittal, who took an undisclosed stake in the company in 2015. “We are grateful to our investors who have confirmed that we will continue to own the Peter Pilotto brand. Thank you to everyone who has supported us,” it read.

Peter Pilotto was once one of the most exciting young talents on the London Fashion Week roster, having won the Vogue/BFC Designer Fashion Fund in 2014 and dressed stars including Kristen Stewart, Beyoncé and Carey Mulligan. The duo met while studying at Antwerp’s Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 2000, and launched their label in 2007, quickly building a reputation for digital prints and feminine silhouettes.
