Eduard Belets'kyy, General Director Monet Fashion Boutique (Ukraine): “Pitti Uomo is a very useful fair that offers plenty of opportunities to make contacts and to create a great network of information. I really liked both the formal fashion and streetwear proposals, as well as the emerging brands which we really need”.
Carolina Martins, men's buyer for Le Lis Blanc Deux (Brazil) “This is the first time I have visited Pitti Uomo in person and I must say that I have never seen such a well-organized fair! From the classic to the informal to sport-chic, I am very enthusiastic about all the brands I discovered here.”
The exhibitors:
Aida Barni Galli, president of Annapurna“This summer edition of Pitti Uomo bodes very well for the future. It was taken by storm by the press on the opening day with buyers following hot on their heels. The buyers were very well prepared with a pretty clear idea about what they wanted to take home. And the many fringe events enhanced the enthusiasm and increased the attendance figures”.
Andrea Lardini, president of Lardini“Here at Pitti Uomo we have been carrying out some excellent work with highly motivated buyers from Europe and the rest of the world. And Japan, a country that has been buffeted by recent events, it is unexpectedly holding its own and no orders have been withdrawn”.
Massimo Tassinari, CEO of the D&K group“There is definitely a different trend with respect to last season. A discreet Italian presence, and an increase in the foreign retail sector. For our group, our presence at Pitti Immagine has always been a very positive experience. Today we are here with two stands that best represent all five of our brands”.
