Pitti Immagine Uomo 2012 (Florence Fashion Week) Fashion Event Jun 19–22, 2012

Pitti Immagine is a week-long trade fair featuring men’s, women’s, and children’s fashion in Florence, Italy. The festival, held semi-annually, includes designer fashion exhibitions with past featured designers like Jeffrey Campbell, Alto Milano, and Maison39.

Pitti Immagine has been held since the 1950s in a variety of venues throughout Florence, including Stazione Leopolda, Fortezza da Basso, and Palazzo Borghese.

Each year Florence’s Fashion Week invites a renowned guest designer to display his or her work. Rodarte, Valentino, Peter Pilotto, and Carven are among past guests. Another important feature of the Pitti Immagine agenda is an exhibition space dedicated to a guest nation and its emerging fashion talent.

In addition to shows dedicated to fashion, Pitti Immagine also includes knitting and textile, wine and food, accessories, and fragrance exhibitions.

Pitti Immagine attracts up to 32,000 visitors, and during the week the city comes alive with an energy that crowds local restaurants and hotels with influential people in fashion, entertainment, and art eager to join in on the excitement of Fashion Week.
