Pitti Notes
Pitti Umo
Tommy Hilfiger is going for a game changing strategy by integrating brick & mortar with a new digital presence that challenges the present framework of the fashion week by shrinking order times of design to store shelves, a digital interaction touchscreen allowing clients to order any item and have it delivered within 24 hours. Fans of Tommy Hilfiger could see the pop up screen anywhere.
Unique, Fabulous, Bold, and High styled are the words I use for the Kanpekino shoes from Japan. Made of cow and seal leather the designer has a unique vision of shoe wear. While walking around Pitti Uomo the animal print styles on the display table caught my eye. Each shoe is hand produced in a factory near Tokyo.
Italian Brand Il Cappottino from Senigallia are for the person who wants a personal style in the outerwear style. Expressive coats made of wool and cashmere with colors.

Pitti Uomo
WOW! I am covering my first Pitti in Milan. It lives up to its reputation as a place to go menswear fashion on a global level. On dDAy one we met designers, stylists, PR, and of course the famous Peacocks strolling around the trade fair in with all their colors.
Then of course, what is a tradeshow without the after work events, we were not disappointed. The first show was a tribute to Ciro Paone, Mr. Kiton, the luxury suit maker, The journey of the man behind the label was in 6 parts from starting with the Family to the Quality.
The setting for Kiton event was spectacular, Palazzo Gerini, A Florence Palace in the center of the city.
NEXT, We jumped in a shuttle and went to the next event for Golden Goose Sneakers. The setting had the “WOW” effect, in an abandon train station with a skateboarding venue set in the center. Slowly the lights went down, then, BOOM, Flashing Lights, Skateboarders in Gold Jackets. I am not familiar with the Golden Gooose brand but this event peaked my curiosity to learn more. We will report more in the future.
Stay tuned for more features from Florence.

London Fashion Week Men
London Fashion Week Men has kicked off to a start that can be described as “creative.” Of the all fashion centers, the British capital has always been a step in the direction of quirky. Designers are more inclined to step out of comfort zones. The availability of fresh creative talent in the city means there is a futile ground for something fresh or even strange in the design department.
Black and Paper Highlights:
Katie Eary’s “Night at the Playboy Mansion” Pajama Llooks are perfect for the man who wants a bit of Noel Coward sophistication.
Craig Green’s flowing colors and carpets seemed like uniforms from Star Trek.
Top Man’s collection is not handsome but fun.
Christopher Shannon’s collection of melded pieces is ready for the night at an urban club.
Casely Hayford are using on long geometric shapes
Matther Miller’s collection focused on black and more black for the intimidating man of town.
Oliver Spencer proves you can have understated wear that stands out in a crowd.
Cottweiler looks are for guys you date but do not take home to mother until get to rally know him.
J.W. Anderson’s heavy looks of patches and knitwear are down to earth if not folksy
