Is Alessandro Sartori about to return to Zegna, where he acted as Creative Director of the ZZegna line? The rumour appears plausible, now that the departure from the Italian fashion label of Stefano Pilati is a possibility, his destination being, according to some, Lanvin.
 

Zegna, of course, did not confirm this exit, but rumours have been rife ever since Saint Laurent's former creative director stopped overseeing the luxury group's womenswear line, Agnona, whose relaunch Zegna entrusted to Pilati in 2013.

This happened in mid-2015, when the Italian group stated: "Stefano Pilati remains with us for menswear."
