The revolutionary unisex brand TELFAR is the Special Project of Pitti Uomo no. 97
Telfar Clemens – who founded the brand in 2005 in New York – brings his concept of fluid and ‘simplex’ (simple + complex) fashion to Florence with a special event in the historical Palazzo Corsini, involving many names from the community of artists and creatives gathered around the designer in an immersive 24-hour experience of fashion, art and performance, culminating in the special fashion show on Thursday 9 January.
“Telfar Clemens is one of the most interesting figures on the contemporary scene – says Lapo Cianchi, Director of Communication & Special Events at Pitti Immagine – For fifteen years, he has been promoting with tenacity an idea of inclusive and accessible fashion and business, with a project in which there is an unexpected blending of aesthetics, art, genre identity and functionality. We are happy to offer him the opportunity to present himself to the Pitti Uomo community, and I am sure that the event in Florence will provide further meaning to a message that is already strong and vibrant.”
“We are honored to be invited to show at Pitti Uomo – says the founder Telfar Clemens – where the deep sense of history and continuity sets the scene perfectly for something entirely new.”
