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 .
