Established in September 1972

Pitti Uomo

is a biannual, trade show event on contemporary menswear fashion.

Held in Florence, Italy

over the course of four days-

Pitti Uomo is a ‘must attend’ on the fashion circuit calendar.

 

It is a stage to present men’s clothing/accessory collections

to an anticipatory international audience

of industry professionals and aficionados.

 

…

Yet, as expected-

the on – runway events for this year’s  menswear,   s / s  2016  presentations

(16 – 19 June 2015)

were rivalled by the off – runway fashion parade of

street style sass sartorial statements.

(Now saw that five times without becoming tongue tied!)

…

Summer suiting seemed the definitive dress directive-

the look elevated by eye-catching accessories:

 

pocket kerchiefs and scarves of prints / colours

smart footwear

weaved straw hats

stacked bracelets

small clutches and oversized carriers

swank sunnies

 

all wonderfully enhanced by the essential element of

sprezzatura –

the Italian dress sense of

effortless, elegant, confidant style .

 

…

Off – runway

 Bellisimo!

Those who are present

 

There from the start, there throughout.

Men,

Happy Father’s Day!

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day: the “I Have a Dream” speech

19 Monday Jan 2015

"I Have a Dream" speech, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Martin Luther King Jr, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, MLK, Remembering MLK

 

Today, 19 January 2015

marks the observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

 

…

Today, across the United States

the preeminent American civil rights leader

of non-violence means for  social change-

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

is honoured for giving his life breath to the cause

of equal rights and equal recognition.

 

…

On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, Washington D.C.

28 August 1963,

Dr. King delivered his stirring I Have a Dream speech.

…

(image from mirror.co.uk):

I have a Dream speech, crowd, image

I Have a Dream

 28 August 1963

Over a quarter of a million people were in attendance

…

 

The speech was the climactic point of

the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

The March on Washington was organised to support then U. S. President

John F. Kennedy’s efforts for Congressional passage of civil rights legislation.

…

The I Have a Dream speech

is lauded as one of the greatest works of oratory delivered in the 20th century:

emotive rhetoric, poignant phraseology, a rallying cry.

…

(image from pbs.org):

…

Dr. King’s pacifist beliefs, eloquence, poise and steadfast calm

in the face of growing danger towards his physical person-

gained him world-wide attention and admiration.

In 1964, he became the youngest recipient of the Noble Peace Prize.

…

(image from abcnews. org):

I have a dream speech, MLK acknowledges the crowd

I Have a Dream

Dr. King acknowledges the crowd

…

The sentiment of the I Have a Dream speech is a plea for the basic tenets

of a just existence for all.

(excerpt of the I Have a Dream speech)

“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.” I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.”

(from infoplease)

 

 

 

…

When he had concluded, Dr. King handed the original typewritten speech

to George Raveling, then a Villanova University student and all-American

basketball player.

 

…

Mr. Raveling, now 77 years old, still has the three page speech.

 

…

I Have A Dream

Delivered by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

28 August 1963
