I have always been inspired by all the gentlemen at The Pitti Immagine. The fashion and Style at The Pitti is always something I look forward to with every single edition.
So The Pitti Uomo is one of the world’s most important platforms for men’s clothing and accessory collections, and for launching new projects in men’s fashion. It’s held twice yearly in Florence.
The first edition of Pitti Uomo was held in Florence in September 1972. The exhibition provided a platform for raising the profile of Italian designers and now has achieved international stature as a leading fashion fair. Pitti Uomo is credited with making dandyism acceptable to a wider audience.
I recently decided to have a shoot with my production team on a look inspired by The Pitti Oumo.
I put together a blue suit from The Craig Zoowie Collection by TZM Fashion House, a crisp white shirt, a wooden bowtie, paisley scarf with a camel colored coat and a pair of patent leather dress shoes. Had an opportunity to carry my blue leather clutch. We had so much fun shooting this as it made me feel like a mafia who had just stepped out of a Rolls Royce.
We also took it a step further to show how to wear the same suit quite casually with a white tee and loafers. For a casual look we paired this with my blue backpack… vivere la vita in modo Italiano!
