Pitti Uomo
I am off to the men’s fashion collections at Pitti Uomo next week. Held in Florence at the Fortezza da Basso “ Pitti” is arguably one of the world’s most important platforms for menswear. Whether it is established suppliers or new entrants; everyone is represented.
Started in 1972, as an exhibition for Italian designers, there are now designers represented from all over the world including many of the brands we work closely with such as Drakes of London, Alice Made This, Fox Umbrellas, Fumagalli, Cheaney.
It will be three days of inspiration and excitement as I discover new brands, acquaint myself with old ones and generally make sure that what we do continues to be relevant on a global level.
