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

Fashion-speak: dictionary entry, and the word is ‘sprezzatura’

Fashion-speak is a living language,

ever evolving to better describe

images presented

…

And the word is:

Sprezzatura

sprezza’tura  (n)

1. an Italian word

2.  first noted in The Book of the Courtier (1528)  by Baldassare Castiglione, a Renaissance work outlining what is expected of

the perfect courtier:  elegance in words,  elegance in manner,  elegance in appearance-  all accomplished with seeming effortlessness

3.  in current fashion vernacular, sprezzatura is the quality of  stylish nonchalance-  as only the Italians seem to do, so very well.

…

Street Style Sass:  a la Sprezzatura

Bellissimo!
