“Circle” by Beatrice Brandini                                                                       

Truly Beautiful this edition of Pitti Bimbo. For the quality of exhibitors and collections presented, and especially for the research, there are lots of different proposals, new and interesting.

These are my personal trends:

Winter – Fantasy – Charm – College

Staging apartments “Home Sweat Home” by Ilaria Marelli, poetical … 

Besides the famous brands which specialize in baby, or the lines of the great designers, both always very interesting, the thing that struck me most was the area known as “Apartment”, a number of Italian and foreign exhibitors who specialize in collections a little ‘more niche and targeted to lifestyle.

These are the proposals that I liked the most:

I think Pitti Bimbo is one of the best fashion shows dedicated to children in the world, even the location itself, the Fortress, is a strikingly beautiful and rich in history. This fair, once again, welcomes the excellence of Made in Italy and beyond, presenting the finest collections for children to materials, design, fabrics and workmanship. Offering a wide choice of leading companies, big brands and small companies who do research, from the great fashion content. 

Good Pitti and Good life at all!

Beatrice
