Pitti uomo where is

Scroll through the gallery above to see our round-up of the best street style looks as seen on the streets of Florence during the th edition of Pitti Uomo. Jul 5, Words By Asri Jasman.

It's a trade show without actually feeling like a trade show. On the scene you notice buyers, sellers, and craftsmen showing off beautiful handmade shoes and suits as well as buyers from the leading stores across globe handling merchandise and placing orders for next year. The fairground is huge and it would be impossible to see everything that there is to see, even in a week. When visiting, you can take your pick between two distinct universes: streetwear and classic elegance.

The population at Pitti is segregated into those two categories: on one side, the bearded hipsters covered in tattoos and piercings--on the other side, the tailoring geeks in double-breasted bespoke suits. A very striking and memorable contrast of personalities which you seldom find under the same roof out in the real world. I won't even attempt to list all the famous menswear figureheads that you will inevitably bump into at Pitti. They are all there, with rare exception. If you are a regular reader of PG and other menswear blogs or forums, then imagine bumping into most everyone you've ever read about.

Anyone from your favorite pictures by The Sartorialist is likely there. Hey, even Scott Schuman is there, so you can actually witness the next wave of Tumblr shots in the making The atmosphere is so friendly and relaxed, that you can feel the positive energy running through the place, as if everybody was so glad to be back at the party.

Very different vibe than your typical high fashion event. I actually attended a high fashion party in town after Pitti, and was struck by how 'pure' Pitti remains compared to the stuck-up fashion world. Pitti is about great people making great products. It sounds corny, but the love is real and you can feel the passion and goodwill coming out of everyone you talk to there. Even sellers of outrageously overpriced RTW suits seem like really cool guys when you talk to them at Pitti.

You will never in your entire life, witness such a concentration of well-dressed dudes. Of course, the Italians stand out--it's their home turf after all. But, contrary to popular belief, they are not the best dressed dudes at Pitti. The Japanese contingent steals the prize by a wide margin and it really hits you like a ton of bricks how perfectly dressed these Japanese dudes are. You have to attend Pitti to understand what I mean. As far as I know, no street photographer has yet to capture the collective power of the Japanese Pitti-look.

After the Japanese, the Scandinavians are holding their own quite well in the Pitti pecking order. Let me add that peacocking and dressing well are two opposing notions at Pitti. The peacocks are fun to watch, but that scene gets old quick as posers pose for hours on end as quite good photography bait. The real dressers are the ones that you may not notice at first glance but then do a double-take just as they walk past, thinking 'Wait, what the hell was that? I have no idea what I just saw, nor why I liked it so much.

I can only sense that there was something awesome about what just walked by. First, because there are many more women at Pitti than you would suspect -- the street shots focus on the men only, so we get a false impression that it's all guys at Pitti. As previously mentioned, the website also features these things, but with different subsections such as billboards, galleries, shows, and Pitti Through the Ages which breaks down the different styles of the time periods.

One of the most impressive sections is Walk Through: Dynamic Attitude, which is a series that chooses key pieces from the global designers.

Some of the features include Museum the Original, which features designs that are completely biodegradable in 3 years. Another brand is Ben Sherman, which is modeled after American Ivy league designs and has an individualised look for each shirt. The current exhibitions and designers accentuate the added soft edges to the rugged masculine look. At the focal point of global fashion innovation is an event that redefined male fashion. Steering away from heteronormative wear, Pitti Uomo spotlights different designers that place emphasis on creative liberation.

Some of the styles even have undertones of androgyny, such as having a boxy style or using dark colors. Elon Musk visits museums in Florence. Living descendants of Leonardo da Vinci identified in Tuscany.
