Florence Calling: Spring-Summer 2020 Menswear Show Pitti Immagine Uomo 96
Salvatore Ferragamo chooses Florence and Pitti Uomo as the world stage to debut the new Spring-Summer 2020 Menswear collection.
The house will present a special fashion show at Pitti Immagine Uomo 96 (Florence, 11-14 June 2019), on Tuesday 11 June, in the magnificent setting of Piazza della Signoria: the heart of Florence, whose Fountain of Neptune by Ammannati has recently been restored to the city in all its splendour after painstaking restoration funded by the fashion House.
Unifying the world’s of menswear and womenswear for several seasons, the Florentine brand continues to evolve the fashion show experience, showcasing a uniquely menswear collection during the pinnacle of men’s fashion, Pitti Immagine Uomo: a prestigious global platform chosen to explore the multidimensional Ferragamo man in the limelight of Florentine prestige.
Under the creative direction of Paul Andrew, the show will focus on the evolution of Ferragamo menswear with highly innovative content and well-defined style, characterised by a fresh luxury identity.
Ferruccio Ferragamo, President of Salvatore Ferragamo: “Florence is our heart, a part of our history, and we are enthusiastic to be back here as “Florence Calling” at Pitti Uomo. At a moment of great consolidation for our brand’s style and identity, we believe that Pitti is the ideal setting for highlighting the direction taken as we move forward, showcasing a strong menswear collection outside the co-ed environment.”
Paul Andrew, Creative Director:“Florence has always been a creative and inspirational platform for Salvatore Ferragamo and for our founder. Pitti Uomo is therefore the natural location for expressing the contemporary vision that represents us today: strong cultural continuity between different generations, with a constant eye to the future. It is an opportunity for emphasising our DNA, that added value that makes us distinctly unique. This collection, on which I am working with our Head of Menswear, Guillaume Meilland, will embrace the creative essence of Ferragamo’s male universe.”
