Pitti Uomo is ready to enter the stage in Florence from 13 to 16 June 2017, with new and exciting tracks on its exhibition path: a careful redistribution of spaces, an enlargement of the sections that represent the most contemporary styles and research of Menswear today, and a development of areas projected to the future of fashion.
Pitti Uomo’s issue No. 92 is vital energy following the slogan “Boom Pitti Blooms”: macroscopic and kindly overbearing flowers invade the Fortezza da Basso, raining over everything, covering the spaces, blossoming into artistic creations and digital icons and infecting the atmosphere with a spirit that has the flourishing of new ideas.
Following this line, Wait Magazine, always careful to the new talents, selects and presents three impressive brand new such as Chris Ran Li, Junk Deluxe and Selfmade.
SELFMADE is a project born of Gianfranco Villegas, a young Filipino-Italian designer. Each piece in the collection is handcrafted in Italy with precious materials and features customized finishes. The SELFMADE signature, hand-embroidered 3D, is applied in silk thread using a unique brand technique.
The general concept is to blend the Italian culture of luxury with American-Filipino streetwear and hiphop culture, the result of which is in an oversized bomber jacket or pure silk parka.
The SELFMADE sneakers are made in collaboration with Leonardo Amaolo in the Marche region, also known as the Italian Shoe Valley and are made from premium leather handmade.
The brand has already gained the attention of stars like Asap Rocky, Rihanna, Chris Brown and many more.
