Marni will be the guest menswear label at Pitti Immagine Uomo 87

Pitti Immagine Uomo 87 - One of the world's most important platforms for men's clothing and accessory collections and for launching new projects in men's fashion - will be held January 13-16, 2015, in Florence, Italy.

There will be approximately 1 090 brands at this key international trade event, showcasing men's fashions and contemporary lifestyle trends.

During the event, on January 15, 2015, the Italian fashion label Marni will present an exclusive fashion show for Pitti featuring the men's collection for the 2015/2016 Fall-Winter season.

'I am very happy that Consuelo Castiglioni accepted our invitation to present the new look in the Marni men’s collection on the Pitti catwalk' says Raffaello Napoleone, CEO of Pitti Immagine. 'The name is one of the undisputed leaders on the international fashion scene, and we have always admired the creativity, elegance and nonconformity that always distinguish its style. Always keeping a watchful eye on the market but never bending to it. In Florence, men’s clothing will be the fulcrum of the project and I’m certain that it will be truly fascinating.'

'Pitti Uomo has always celebrated the avant-garde and experimentation. Elements which coincide with my work with the menswear collection: to interpret the true menswear staples through functionality and classicism, combined with contrasting elements and unexpected details', said Consuelo Castiglioni, Marni Creative Director.

Dean Manev, the Trade Director of the Men's Fashion Cluster, will also visit the event.
