We present you top 5 menswear trade shows during November, December and January. You can read information about the shows - their main purposes, what you can find there and the future trends of menswear and accessories.

1. Modaprima - Pitti Immagine presents the 79th edition of Modaprima, the fair for menswear and womenswear clothing and accessories collections, for autumn-winter 2016-17, with a focus on bestsellers for spring-summer 2016.

There are a host of new features for this edition, from the show’s exhibition format, with the launch of the new Accessories section, to an increasingly international target public!

The fair raises the quality of its offering, as a reference point for fashion dedicated to large-scale retail, and will put the spotlight on a selection of about 150 collections, produced in Italy but with a broad international focus, designed for global, dynamic, continuously-evolving entities. And Pitti Immagine zeroes in on internationalism through promotional and communication initiatives, aiming to intercept a qualified, global public of industry professionals.

An important new feature this year is Modaprima Accessories, the new section dedicated to the world of accessories. With a strategic focus on accessories as a style accent on the contemporary fashion scene, Modaprima presents a careful proposal thought out for buyers seeking new stylistic input, with a selection of companies scouted by Pitti Immagine.

2. Pitti Immagine Uomo - PITTI GENERATION(S) is the title-theme of the Pitti Uomo 89 and it will talk about the “coexistence” of different generations in today’s fashions and styles. The speed of today’s life compresses and mixes personal and generational time between nostalgia and experimentation, going beyond global boundaries.

PITTI GENERATION(S) will take an ironic and lighthearted look at an era in which age is more a state of mind than a date on a birth certificate, with mature men wearing jeans and t-shirts and youngsters who have a passion for vintage looks and sport Victorian beards. It will be an energetic plunge into new styles and “ways of life” presented at the Fortezza da Basso’s several nerve points – designed by Oliviero Baldini.

And, there will be an exclusive, limited-edition capsule collection – inspired by PITTI GENERATION(S), - of items distributed by an original, itinerant temporary shop, a project produced in cooperation with the design brand Seletti and Toiletpaper, the Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari’s cult magazine.

Furthermore, Pitti Immagine is continuing its collaboration with talented directors to create digital art projects for the fairs’ publicity campaigns.
