The sections
Pitti Immagine Uomo explores the multiple references and styles that make up contemporary men's fashions. The fair is organized into 10 sections which are linked to the three macro-areas of Classic, Informal and Avant-garde .
On 12 February 2001 Pitti Immagine and the CFMI (Centro di Firenze per la Moda Italiana) celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of Italian High Fashion. And it was during that same year, through the establishment of Intesa Moda by the CFMI and Sistema Moda Italia, that the Italian fashion trade-fair system was integrated, relaunching the strategic alliance between Florence and Milan to further the growth of Made in Italy.
