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.

Gear S3 from Samsung

At IFA 16 Samsung unveiled its latest smartwatch, the Gear S3.  My verdict: NO! Still not compelling enough or stylish to warrant a purchase.

I got a personal demonstration, then had hands on time.

Coming in two styles, the first is based on an elegant classic design style.  The second is a sportier, rugged design for the urban adventurer.

What I noticed immediately was the size of the round display/face; 1.3 inches in thick steel casing, light. You can swipe the display to change the face looks and access widgets.  When I tried it on, the watch dominated my wrist, a bit too noticeable for my taste. I asked  why the bigger display, I was told their customers desired a larger screen size because it was easier to read and navigate applications.   Samsung is clearly positioning this device for male users as a hi-tech wearable.

The Gear S3 uses Samsung’s TIzen OS with 4 gb of eternal storage space. All can be controlled by either the  Home Button, Back Button, or Rotating dial.  It was easy to control after a few tries.

Battery life has been improved for up to 3 days without recharging. There is a microphone and speaker for making calls.  Waist bands are standard sizes, enabling the user to change colors and styles.

I did not hate the Gear S3 but I could give myself a valid reason for wanting it.  I was unconvinced.

I did not get a launch date for the Gear 3 so check for local release dates.

Soloviere

While looking over the Internet for a style of shoes, I came across French shoe designs Soloviere.  A luxury brand made in Italy founded in 2014 by Alexia Aubert, the former studio director of Pierre Hardy.  Each shoe has a simple style with spark of flash.
