As my summer begins for the third year in a row. Of course, it’s Pitti Uomo. Enchanting Florence fills up with gentlemen, Negronis, beautiful people, and a stylish atmosphere. It’s so wonderful to be a part of this and to start my summer so well.
Pre-Pitti Uomo Trip
Our trip will start a bit earlier, and before that, we plan to go to the sea. Feeling the salty water of the beaches of Portofino and preparing some beautiful and useful content for you there.
Pitti Uomo in June
Just a reminder, Pitti Uomo happens twice a year: in June and January. Despite the heat, which can be there during this period, I love the summer exhibition the most. There are more colors and evening events held outdoors, and it’s just indescribable.
Outfit Preparations for Pitti Uomo
This year, I won’t be wearing a classic suit. We’re preparing three outfits. I don’t know what I’ll wear on which day, but let me tell you a bit about each of the outfits.
First Outfit
The first one will be a suit with a safari jacket instead of a blazer in a beautiful linen color. I’ll wear loafers for shoes, and probably a shirt on top. I haven’t decided on its color yet. Probably white.
Second Outfit
The second outfit will be made of different materials and fabrics. On top, there will be a linen jacket, which everyone liked at the last winter Pitti Uomo, and we decided to repeat it, making it from linen and a lighter version.
Third Outfit
The third outfit will be a jacket that we’re tailoring, and I talked about it on my Instagram, where Dmitry and I are tailoring together, and if we manage, the final touch will be that I’ll wear it at Pitti Uomo with olive wool trousers or milk trousers. Like always, I’ll wear loafers. As for accessories, I’ll have a bag in my hands, which we’re also developing, and I have no doubt it will turn out very well.
Special Moments at Pitti Uomo
Pitti Uomo is something special for me. It’s when once every two years, you can meet your friends who live in different parts of the world, have an espresso with one, ask the other where he got such a good suit made, discuss how Real Madrid won the Champions League, or where and how they plan to spend their vacation.
Morning Routine in Florence
I’m already looking forward to my morning run along the Arno River and the final point – Piazzale Michelangelo, when the morning Florence opens up before you, you smile and in a good mood run back home for breakfast, get ready, and before the exhibition, you go to Café Gilli, where you already start meeting all your friends, have espresso together, listen to what’s new in the last six months, and nibble on all of this with a fresh cream-filled croissant, and together head to the exhibition. And so for three days from morning till night, you have a great time and collect emotions!
See you soon, Pitti Uomo, and all my friends! As the Italians say: “Che vediamo!”
Fact in the Spotlight
