At Pitti Uomo, we have already seen the big campaign by Tom Ripley and felt a fresh spirit, including billboards at the airport in Florence. The message? "We're stepping on the gas even more," says Managing Director Wolfgang Müller, "It's all about uncompromising quality paired with sophisticated style with a comprehensible level of fashion."
The new collection shows the joie de vivre of the 1950s and 1960s, including pastel shades. Resortwear shows Mediterranean lightness and cultivated nonchalance thanks to lightweight terry sets, open-buttoned polo shirts and shirts with Cuban collars. At the same time, knitwear is versatile, from classic polo shirts to overshirts. Vintage stripes, chevron structures and pappardelle ribs translate retro graphics into the present day. Natural materials such as linen, cotton or crepe yarns underline the sustainable claim. "Production takes place exclusively in Italian family businesses, for slow fashion with attitude," says Wolfgang Müller.
