Florence delivers new-wave sartorialism at its finest
Often credited as the pulse of the global menswear industry, the biannual exhibition Pitti Uomo sees some of the best in sartorial style descend on the storied streets of Florence, Italy.
Famed for its worldly mix of brands, Pitti Uomo's influence on the collections and styles that make it from concept to store to wardrobe remains unmatched in the menswear arena. An essential blend of statement tailoring and the hottest streetwear, twice a year the Florentine streets become a hotbed for people and trend spotting.
