A Spotlight Of The Pitti Uomo Social Calendar
I feel it apt to start this put up with a Negroni analogy.
For many who’ve usually questioned from afar simply what precisely Pitti Uomo is all about, nicely, it’s just about an equal components cocktail.
There may be, in fact, the “most important” purpose folks attend — patrons are there to view and probably place orders for numerous wares from numerous manufacturers. It’s a commerce present, in spite of everything.
There may be the rationale that the majority informal observers would — considerably rightly — imagine to be the primary purpose folks attend, which is to face round, preen, be seen, and hopefully get their photograph snapped for 5 seconds of fame on Vogue or another publication.
After which there’s the social facet.
As soon as the honest shuts down for the day, that’s when the menswear trustworthy actually come out to play. There are all method of occasions within the evenings, from intimate black tie dinners to shows and all the pieces in between. And whereas it will possibly typically appear virtually unimaginable to attend all the pieces one needs — the primary night we had a minimum of 5 events to point out our faces at — that’s truthfully all a part of the flavour and pleasure of Pitti Uomo.
Among the many numerous soirées, the Wm Brown celebration at Sina Villa Medici’s Harry’s Bar The Backyard is all the time a spotlight of the Pitti Uomo social calendar. Hosted by our good pal Matt Hranek (and co-hosted this version by our brother Angel Ramos, Fox Brothers, and New & Lingwood), it’s a night the place Negronis circulate like water, the company are sharply dressed, the dialog is all the time partaking, and the band performs and performs and performs (there was a rumor that I’d sit in with them…)
Which is one other solution to say that it’s a can’t miss occasion.
So Mike, Angel, and I suited up in black tie (we had a dinner after the celebration), hopped in a cab, and obtained to doing what menswear guys in Florence do.
Right here’s a photograph report from the evening’s festivities.
