Pitti Live Movie

Cinema is coming to Pitti Uomo this January. The fair will be transformed into a Film Festival where the styles of various venues will be interpreted as different genres: thrillers, adventure, action and sport movies, spy stories. Pavilions will become movie theaters where one can enjoy the entertainment. The main forecourt of the Fortezza da Basso will evoke a movie theatres district with billboards announcing the scheduled blockbusters, cult and indie movies.

The guest designers presenting their menswear collections at Pitti Uomo include Undercover by Jun Takahashi and TakahiromiyashitaTheSoloist. In a forward-thinking move for Pitti Uomo, Takahashi and Miyashita will present back-to-back menswear shows at the Stazione Leopolda on January 11, 2018 to symbolise and celebrate their personal friendship and deep mutual respect for each other’s work. Brooks Brothers has selected Pitti Uomo and Florence as the stage to kick-start their 200th anniversary -- a celebration of two centuries of style and innovation for this iconic American brand -- featuring a fashion show and a special exhibition in one of the city’s most fascinating locations, Palazzo Vecchio.

The International Woolmark Prize, one of the world’s most prestigious awards aimed at supporting upcoming talent, will be back in Florence where the winners in menswear and womenswear categories will be announced, a first for Pitti. Twelve finalists from around the world will present innovative collections to show the potential of Australian merino wool. The event at the Stazione Leopolda is a joint production in cooperation with Fondazione Pitti Immagine Discovery.
