In Reggie Blaszczyk and Ben Wubs (Eds.), The Fashion Forecasters: A Hidden History of Color and Trend Prediction (pp. 191-209).

According to a recent article from the Business of Fashion website, the growth of menswear has outpaced Mthat of women’s wear since at last 2011.1 Until the 1970s, male fashion in Europe mainly focused on tailoring and smaller-scale production of ready-to-wear, or confection, producing shirts, and underwear. One exception was the famous menswear tailoring industry in Leeds, England, which clothed British working-class and middle-class men in stylish suits for a century until its demise in the late twentieth century. London’s Savile Row traditionally set the trends for the high end of the industry. Aer the 1970s, men’s ready-to- wear and men’s haute couture start to grow elsewhere in Europe. Trends and styles in menswear change much more slowly than in women’s fashion; however, the pace of those changes is increasing. One of the world’s most important players for menswear is the international fashion trade fair Pitti Uomo in Florence, Italy. Pitti Uomo was established in 1972 under the umbrella of the non-prot organization Centro di Firenze per la Moda Italiana (CFMI-Florentine Centre for the Italian Fashion), which today is the holding of Pitti Immagine (ocially born in 1988).

  • Debut of BAD INFLUENCE at the 96Th Edition of Pitti Immagine Uomo Spring-Summer 2020 - Menswear Collection
    REVENANT (English) – Survived; Survivor. | From the Latin Redivivus ‘restored, renewed.’ A person who returns after a long absence; Returned to a new life. Debut of BAD INFLUENCE at the 96th edition of Pitti Immagine Uomo Spring-Summer 2020 - Menswear Collection Changeable contrasts, oppositions and suggestive dichotomies, logical derivations that bring out new concepts: these are the creative themes defining Revenant’s Spring-Summer 2020 collection, entitled “Bad Influence”. The line will be presented for the first time at the 96th edition of Pitti Immagine Uomo in the Unconventional Pavilion, where the grittiness of luxury street style will be on display. In the collection, polar opposites encounter and collide, giving way to a new syntax where the classic is set against the contemporary, nature is set against the artificial and tradition against modernity. Bad Influence depicts an influence detached from moral judgement and expresses evident obstacles as well as a plurality of elements told through the ironic messages characterising the DNA of the brand. There is a wider range of graphics: the search for illustrations and evocations of artistic heritage characterise the collection where historic themes are brutally cut and pasted or re-developed with cutting-edge photographic content. A canvas depicting a still life opposed with Marihuana leaves and the artwork Ex-plosion, combining the sacred heart with an atomic mushroom cloud, are the symbols of the “bad influence” inspiring the collection. Poser is the famous Vincent Van Gogh self-portrait, reinterpreted with sunglasses, ready to be photographed, like a real celebrity. Liberty portrays the instantly recognisable Statue of Liberty, which expresses all the emancipation by brandishing a bunch of roses in honour of independence.

  • Date: 12 January 2015 Maserati and La Martina at the 87TH Edition of Pitti Immagine Uomo
    Date: 12 January 2015 Maserati and La Martina at the 87TH edition of Pitti Immagine Uomo The collaboration between Maserati, the Italian luxury automotive manufacturer which celebrated its centennial anniversary in 2014, and La Martina, the Argentinian brand, leader in polo clothing, continues. During the 87th edition of Pitti Immagine Uomo, the two brands will host ‘Riding Pitti’, an exclusive launch event of their FW2015/16 capsule collection, which will take place on 13 January at 15:00 (Fortezza Da Basso, Padiglione della Ghiaia/23, stand 6). Celebrations will continue in the evening with a cocktail event, where the best polo player of the Maserati Centennial Polo Tour, which recently concluded in Dubai, will receive the Maserati Centennial Award. The Maserati Centennial Polo Tour Celebration Party will take place on 13 January from 19:30 (Loft E, Piazza del Carmine, 2r – Firenze). The special La Martina for Maserati FW 2015/16 capsule collection makes its debut at Pitti Immagine Uomo with the launch of an exclusively designed item for the House of the Trident, the winter polo shirt. The "Polo-Duvet La Martina for Maserati", is an innovative garment for the winter months, which echoes the iconic polo shirt. As well as being comfortable and lightweight, it protects from the cold thanks to 100g of soft outdoor quilt material called “cashmere insulate”. An alternative to conventional padding and goose down, it guarantees the same lightness to reach even higher insulation, with significantly reduced volumes, therefore providing a slimmer fit. Like goose feathers and polyester, cashmere fibres feature air hollows for better thermal insulation, since air is the best insulating material.

This record-breaking, energy-packed, and very world-oriented edition of Pitti Uomo, held together with Firenze Hometown of Fashion , welcomed over 30,000 visitors. The 86 th edition of Pitti Immagine Uomo (17-20 June), the world’s leading lifestyle and fashion trade fair for men has come to an end at the Fortezza da Basso in Florence. It was a truly extraordinary edition of the fair, thanks also to the fact that it coincided with Firenze Hometown of Fashion, the program of special events celebrating the 60 th anniversary of the Centro di Firenze per la Moda Italiana. The fair and FHoF were officially opened by Prime Minister Matteo Renzi (the first time ever that a head of the Italian Government has participated in the event) and enjoyed the support of the Ministero dello Sviluppo Economic and Agenzia ICE. “The presence of Prime Minister Renzi was very important”, says Gaetano Marzotto, president of Pitti Immagine, “on the symbolic level with the message he sent to our business entrepreneurs and to the international operators and because of the energy he conveyed to the trade, to the media and to the city. The cooperation between the Centro, Pitti Immagine, the ministry and ICE produced a rich calendar of events that has never been matched in terms of variety and interest. It involved the whole city, and gave Florence the opportunity to welcome the world’s top journalists and buyers from all the continents and representing the world’s major, established and emerging markets.
