At Pitti Uomo, this collaboration will be unveiled through a series of artworks, created from denim waste and designed to amaze and provoke. It's a confirmation of G-STAR RAW's commitment to innovation and to respecting people and the planet. Because "there is no limit to what denim can do."

VITALE BARBERIS CANONICO and CARUSO

On the occasion of its 360th anniversary, Vitale Barberis Canonico presents "The Saxon Club," a project that celebrates a unique material: Saxon Merino wool, the ancestor of modern Australian merino sheep, known for its exceptional quality and royal history. Presented in its pure form as flannel, available in 10 patterns inspired by the volumes of the company's historical archive, it represents 10 milestones in the centuries-old history of the woolen mill. This exclusive fabric is interpreted by Caruso's sartorial tradition and craftsmanship in a capsule collection featuring the iconic Aida jacket, and it will take center stage at a special event in an art gallery in Florence.
