I’m en route to Florence for Pitti Uomo 105!
For some, the January editions of Pitti are the most interesting for the same reason fall and winter are beloved in menswear circles: layers! Coats, scarves, tweed, boots, flannel!
The June edition, meanwhile, is hot, Florence is loaded with tourists, and milling about outside to look cool for photos is much too uncomfortable.
I love them both for different reasons. The fun of the cold seasonal clothing is a big draw; yet the late sunsets and never-ending nighttime shenanigans in summer are memorable as well.
This time I’ll be doing all the usual Pitti activities I’ve done the last several times I’ve gone.
- Street style photos
- One-on-one improv interviews
- Coverage of brands/makers at the fair
- Video and updates about my personal shenanigans
This time I have a guest on my ticket into the fair, who will be an extra set of hands and a second perspective on things: Gus Walbolt. He and his wife decided to come to the fair and so he’s on my ticket as a member of the press to get the full experience.
Enjoy some photos from January 2023 Pitti to get excited for the goings-on below.
