“Knit” by Beatrice Brandini

Banner 89th Pitti Uomo

It opened yesterday the 89th edition of Pitti Uomo, the most important exhibition in the world of menswear. The theme of this year’s Generation (s) whose meaning wants to emphasize that fashion and style are transgenerational, that the different generations are simultaneous, that fathers steal the sneakers to children and children jackets tailored to the fathers, who lords over fifty wearing jeans with great ease and twentysomethings have beards and mustaches, and wearing clothes very classic.
