With pandemics effect subsiding, Pitti Immagine plans to organize upcoming edition of the menswear trade show Pitti Uomo alone, without any trade partners. As per a Women’s Wear Daily report, scheduled from June 14-17, the event will showcase spring 2023 men’s collections. It will discontinue the recent tradition of combining the show with the Pitti Bimbo and Pitti FIlati fairs dedicated to childrenswear and yarn-makers, respectively.
Pitti Uomo will be based on four different themes, including Fantastic Classic, devoted to sartorial brands; Futuro Maschile, spotlighting fashion-forward menswear; Dynamic Attitude, dedicated to outerwear and sportswear with an urban spin, and Superstyling, showcasing contemporary takes on men’s wardrobes. In sync with last January’s edition, the Sustainable Style section will gather eco-friendly labels and designers.
Last summer, for the first time, Pitti Immagine combined all three fashion-related shows under its umbrella. For the two editions since July 2021, the three trade fairs were held concurrently, forcing Pitti Filati to temporarily relocate to the Stazione Leopolda venue, a necessary move that didn’t entirely please exhibitors.
The next edition of Pitti Bimbo is slated to run June 22 to 24, while Pitti Filati will be held from June 29 to July 1.
