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
the Italian dress sense of
effortless, elegant, confidant style .

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.
