Travel report Florence

Author: Nitty Crew Posted: January 26th, 2012

Our buying season always kick off with an always inspiring week at the numero Uno trade show in men's fashion, Pitti Uomo in lovely Florence. This year was no exception.

What makes Pitti so unique is the total cover of the whole menswear fashion scene. You have everything divided in different areas and buildings depending up on what segment your brand belongs to.
We've got the L´Altra Uomo space where you find brands like Nigel Cabourn, TS(S), Diemme, Ten C, Gitman Vintage among our Swedish friends Our Legacy and Uniforms for the Dedicated.
In the Touch Area you can pick up treats from brands like Yuketen, Want Les Essentials de la Vie, Post Overalls, Barena and the White Briefs.
But the heart of Pitti is of course Padiglione Centrale, a huge three floors building where it's quite easy to get lost between all the silk and cashmere from Belvest, Kiton, Corneliani, Zegna, Brunello Cucinelli... well pretty much everyone that makes slick, expensive and made by hand tailoring or accessories.

Part from all the beautiful clothing we see we sure enjoy a proper Italian pasta, a glass of Chianti and maybe, for the special occasions, a glass of Prosecco. For cocktails, the place to be is Harry's bar. The dry martini's they do over there… Oh mama!

Arividerchi!
