Pitti Uomo, Florence Italy- How Has It Changed in 45 Years, Menswear Trade Show

Send us a text

I’ve been going to Pitti Uomo in Florence for over 30 years — and it still gives me that same feeling every time I walk through the gates.

In this episode, I’m sharing what Pitti means to me as someone who’s spent a lifetime in menswear — from growing up in my family’s retail stores to now running my own custom clothing business. I talk about how the show has changed (and how it hasn’t), the people you meet, the fabric houses I’ve worked with for decades, and why true style always comes back to authenticity.

Whether you’ve been to Pitti or dream of going one day, I hope this gives you a sense of what it’s like — not just the suits and style, but the soul of it.

Thanks for listening —

Philip
