Entrance 86 ° Pitti Uomo leitmotif “Ping Pong”, a metaphor for the response to the crisis
Mood Board “Holiday-Vintage-Bon Ton” Beatrice Brandini
It opened yesterday the 86th Pitti Uomo, dedicated to the collections for next spring-summer 2015, and I have to say that there was an incredible energy… Multiple and different proposals presented at the exhibition by giant companies and small businesses, artisans and industries, historical brands and niche … but all united by the quality and style with innovative ideas, funny, stylish, classic, sports … for all tastes, for all styles, for all your needs …
G-Star Raw collaboration (with my “old” passion) Pharrell Williams, ethical fashion, good!
G-Star RAW For The Oceans, collection with Pharrell Williams
Collection G-Star beautifully over the denim … G-Star Raw Baseball cap in denim, nice!
Superga, proposals in 3D, tartan 3D effect, Ping Pong 3D effect, for collectors!
In economically difficult times, especially for consumption on the domestic market, the indicators of the system argue that fashion exports since 2009 (terrible year, with the collapse of Lehman Brothers) to date, has been growing, showing that small and medium-sized businesses operating in the textile industry have gone ahead despite everything, believing and helping especially in itself, thanks to its own product, once again synonymous with excellence in Italian.
Zabattigli of Capri, nice collection, nice suits, beautiful patterns and fabrics … I guess Peter Sellers in the 60s, he would have gone mad!
D.A.T.E. Hub, nice patterns for dresses and shorts from the 60’s mood, a new and fresh proposal
D.A.T.E. Premium Sneakers, sketches to Pollock, lace, iridescent material
In collaboration with the MIDO fair in Milan, proposed in the context of high eyewear Pop-Eye. Absolutely new and unmissable (Vava stand)
Furoshiki, magic soles
Mackintosh, these beautiful jackets nautically inspired, decidedly innovative colors and materials.
I’ve seen very interesting looks, especially among the public and visitors (Pitti has become a sort of competition to see who comes up with the look more specifically, hoping to go to some cover or in some blog, Sartorialist has made school!). Amazing characters whose common denominator was the discovery of a new elegance, modern and eccentric, but true elegance, I have called it a modern dandy. Also I have never seen so many shorts worn in cities like inside Pitti, brought beautifully although not all were equipped with physique du role, but it’s nice to see as well as classically and elegantly, you can dare and it is also what I love in fashion .
A maxi Converse, made by many Converse sneakers, charming!
Happiness, t-shirts and not only, mood Rimini Rimini Rimini
Kiton, many proposals for many male personality, all united by an idea of elegance.
Kiton, beautiful setting up
Important to emphasize that in conjunction with the sixtieth anniversary of the event, Pitti Immagine has reorganized the exhibition space, creating events inside and outside the expo, stand amazing and completely different type of product, providing stimuli presented beyond the excellent product. Returning home, facing the many challenges of the market on a daily basis, you feel somehow more cargo, more purposeful, thinking once again that Italy, beauty, excellence, are inherent in our culture … DNA and that eventually we will succeed!
Richkids, I had already spoken in the post of the last edition of Pitti, finding their things kitsch and over the top for this hilarious and imaginative, in trend with cartoon style and playful these days. Irresistible these new necklaces with faces icon of our times (an other must have!). All acceptance hostess wore their baseball caps, so cute!
