FLORENCE - Pitti Uomo


Fortezza da Basso – Touch: the wardrobe for the new dandy. Touch is the new exhibition space created by Pitti Immagine to express the new elegance of the fashionable man and the latest developments in the contemporary male wardrobe.

Seen at Touch. 24/7 Suits is a menswear line created by Livio Graziottin. The collection, which appears to be classic at first glance is full of tongue in cheek funky details. Take this frock inspired quilted evening coat, if you look closer the quilting stitches are skulls and cross bones and the lining is a printed tribute to heaving metal rock groups. Every item has a subtle twist to it. “It’s like being good, but not too good.” Livio states.
