Pitti Bimbo is divided into eleven divisions
The fair will be thematically divided into eleven different segments. Between designers and established brands, for example, there will also be the “EcoEthic area”, which is dedicated to the topic of sustainability.
The “KidzFIZZ” section contains a mixture of research and experimentation, while “The Nest” presents mainly upcoming brands.
The extensive Salon Fancy Room deals with objects, curiosities, accessories, furnishings and trends that complement the wardrobe. Further areas are: Pitti Bimbo, Kid’s Evolution, Apartment, #ACTIVELAB, Sport Generation, SuperStreet and Fashion at Work.
The Pitti Box is the main theme of the fair
The Pitti Box is a tribute to the character of the fair: to be a surprise box. Extraordinary metal containers with ideas and innovations that can be opened and changed from season to season to tell the latest trends in fashion and lifestyle. In Fortezza da Basso there will be a large indoor arena dedicated to the exchange between food, ideas and relaxation.
Fashion shows and events
In addition, there will be three different fashion shows. These include the shows with luxury collections from Apartment and a KidzFizz Catwalk Show. The first day of the fair will begin with a catwalk event at which Monnalisa will present the Autumn/Winter 2019 collection.
