PITTI _ ISLAND
The new theme of the Pitti Immagine summer fairs
An island as a point of reference, a fixed spot, a physical and interior place but, above all, a point of encounter and debate. “PITTI _ ISLAND, the theme for summer 2022, will be an imaginary island connected with the whole world in a process of constant mutual exchange. A land of selected, sociable and open botany, at times amusing, reflective and absorbing, sensitive to ideas, a place for meeting each other, for spending time together before each one of us sets off again on our own journey”, explains Agostino Poletto, General Manager of Pitti Immagine. “Here we find the perfect metaphor for our fairs and the objective we want to achieve at each edition, selecting the very best in fashion creativity”.
PITTI _ ISLAND is a concept presented in all the communication (adv, video, social) curated by the creative director Angelo Figus and by Narènte, Lucio Aru and Franco Erre who have been entrusted with the whole visual part. A production that also heavily characterizes the layouts at the Fortezza da Basso, followed by architect Alessandro Moradei. (see specific press release)

The renaissance city of Florence is a tremendously beautiful setting and contrast to our Copenhagen roots. The historically importance of Pitti Uomo speaks loud and clear with it’s combination of heritage and tradition, while always pushing for a new and relevant agenda within menswear. It’s exactly somewhere between this timelessness and striving for a new responsible agenda, you will find Soulland.” Silas Oda Adler, founder and creative director of Soulland.
_ SAPIO is a Special Project @ Pitti Uomo 102
Designer Giulio Sapio will present the SS23 collection of the brand that bears his name in Florence during Pitti Uomo, inside the Spazio Discovery – a gallery in the Pitti Immagine head offices just a few meters away from the Fortezza da Basso, place of high symbolic value for Pitti and Florence that hosted the first contemporary art installations. The Sapio special installation will make the suit the absolute protagonist, our second skin, a skin we choose, through which we portray ourselves and which satisfies all our senses. An idea of a wardrobe that is timeless because it is designed to evolve over time, in which the cut and the processing come to life in the material and are translated into garments dominated by a pure formal equilibrium. An equilibrium that knows no gender, but accompanies the body in the details and the proportions, highlighting its unique and unrepeatable grace. For this reason, the wardrobe is identical, esthetically, for males and females.
HIGHLIGHTS @ Pitti Uomo 102
