Haider Ackermann: Palazzo Corsini, Pitti Immagine

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

Even we at romanofirenze had the possibility to participate at the special guest Haider Ackermann event, in the presence of Cristina, that in a few words tells us about her impressions:

“Yesterday evening at Palazzo Corsini I participated at an event that was, to say the least,  exceptional! A show venue that lasted only about 20 minutes, but that was breathtaking… the notes of a piano played by Jamie Bochert opened the evening, followed by the fluent moves of the models, both men and women, and their beautiful dresses. The atmosphere was magic… compliments to the fashiondesigner Haider Ackermann, that made us all remain deilghted!”

Pitti Uomo77

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

Today, finally, we have been to the fashion fair Pitti Uomo 77 at La Fortezza da Basso in Florence! This second day there was way more people than yesterday, and already in early morning the ticket queue was long, and to enter the pavilions there was almost a need for trafficlights! :) Lots of people, lots of buyers and lots of news - that is Pitti Immagine!
As always the preparations are a true expression of creativity. Fornarina for example had a really sweet idea, positioning large pink kissmouths long the entrance corridor.  Large space was given for vintage; the jeans brand 2 men had chosen a container as their stand, filled with dated objects such as bicycles and chimeys; one of the cutest ideas came from Momaboma, that gave coloured chalks to everyone in order to write on walls and newpapers! La Gazzetta dello Sport had an eye-catching stand with a real bar inside!

Talking about the well known “Pitti People”, this year’s editions, replacing the 100m wall with photos, had prepared  large ribbons with phrases and theories concering the concept of “fashion” (see our Pitti video). As a matter of fact, the word, “la parola”,”  is the theme behind the fair, created by the creative director Patricia Urquiola.


Among the new upcoming brands, some have particularly catched our interest, the young and original Diciotto, with a monkey wearing raybans as a logo, suggests a vintage inspired collection completely made in Italy – really sweet accessories! The sunglasses from the brand Jumper-s, have a new design, in soft plastic. They are coloured and ultra light, and you can easily personalize them with any kind of lense – they will not get out of our sight!
Last but not least, the London brand  Jeeperspeepers: sunglasses of all kinds,  from the very chich to the trendy – there are a pair for every style! We could not risk to loose them, so we immediately made the order. Soon they will be available at the romanofirenze’s online shop and in our shops in Florence! For now, we can offer you a sneak peak!


News and curiosities about Pitti Uomo76

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

Pitti PeopleHere we are, as promised, to tell you all the news about Pitti Uomo 76, here in Florence. Yesterday we have been there, and apart that it was very hot, it has been a exciting day. A lot of people from everywhere have come to the fair so that  it was difficult  walking inside: a part of them very elegant, others more eccentric, women with 12 cm high heels (…just to stay comfortable during the day), and guys very fashionable. The so-called “Pitti People“, gain an important role : in the place inside the Fortezza da Basso it has been set up a 100 meter long Wall dedicated to them. Selected photographers/bloggers took thousands pictures to the visitors of the fair, with whom they have decorated the wall.  (see pictures on their blogs). Don’t miss it!

Wall-installationsThe stands preparations were gorgeous! We amazed looking at the original and creative decorations, an example is the writing “Pitti Woman” realized with many  small and colored plastic glasses (see picture), both external and internal arrangements were so beautiful, with a nice atmosphere where the Fashion is the protagonist. After a break with a good expresso listening to the DJ music (see picture), we moved to the Dogana and Villa Vittoria. In one of the prestigious galleries of Villa Vittoria took position “ A Magazine curated by“, a biennal magazine curated by many selected designers and stylists like Jun Takahashi and Proenza Schouler. There were totally nine iPod touch screens  that no stop were sliding the pages of each curator’s issue.

We hope you’ll forgive us, ’cause we spent some of the time making attention at visitors shoes!  Choose the ones you like best!
