For the 89th time, every fashion
addicted gentleman went to Firenze to attend one of the biggest men's
exhibitions in the world. Two times per
year, Florence turns into a fashion-mecca on the level of absolute superlative.
For me it was the first time to attend
a fair and visit such an event. Arriving at the airport you already start to
understand how big this event is. People are travelling to Firenze from all
over the world. The queue to get a Taxi at
the airport is at least 50 meters long.
There
are two parts of the fair. On the one hand a lot of brands are exhibiting their
newest collections. On the other hand there is the 'show off' part in front of the
building people are hanging out to present their styles.
It's unbelievable what a good time I
had with my friend Kenneth. The sun was out, everyone in a good mood! I enjoyed
the relaxed vibe at the Pitti Immagine. Everyone is totally laid back. I ate
loads of 'Bistecca Fiorentina' and met wonderful and well dressed people from
all over the world.
What a
surprise to open the news at the next day!
Suddenly
we started to realise that our pictures are everywhere (GQ Russia, GQ Germany,
GQ Mexico & Vogue Mexico)
So what's
trending?
Beards &
Moustaches
I have the
personal impression that beards and moustaches are still totally in fashion.
The coming pictures will prove that.
Hats
They are all
over the place. In all sort of colours, shapes and forms. I'd love to see more
of them here in Switzerland!
Coats
Rather coats
than jackets was the main trend this time. A very dapper and classy idea for
next winter.
Checked & squared pattern is a nice alternate to
just black or grey.
Shoes & Socks
Be brave and use colours! Pastel colours
during autumn & winter.
